561 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

This two-family residential building at 561 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jennifer Krouse, was constructed in 1901 and stands two stories tall. The building has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with the most recent being a bedbug report filed in May 2025, covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024.

Fortunately, this report shows no evidence of infestation in any dwelling units during that period, with zero units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. Earlier issues include a rodent-related complaint in October 2022, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in violations being found on the property, with follow-up inspections scheduled.

This potentially concerning health and safety matter was particularly significant given the building's age and the general challenges of urban pest control. The property also had a COVID-19 Executive Order violation recorded in August 2020, which was inspected and resulted in an Oath Violation being served. While the building has had its share of regulatory interactions, it's worth noting that there have been no recent complaints or reported issues regarding bedbugs since 2025, suggesting that any past infestation problems may have been successfully addressed.
