508 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 3-unit, 3-story New Law tenement at 508 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Dougert Legacy LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2024 and early 2025. Of particular concern are the repeated heat and hot water complaints in late 2024, including both building-wide and apartment-specific issues in December and November 2024, though housing inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.
The building has also faced water-related challenges, with complaints regarding water leaks in 2024, including a September 2024 leak that was classified as an emergency. The property underwent a significant inspection in September 2024 which resulted in multiple violations, particularly affecting apartment 1A, including problems with doors, water leaks, electrical wiring, plumbing, and sanitation issues. Additional violations were noted for both the public hall and vestibule areas regarding fire safety materials and painting requirements, though most violations from this inspection were certified as corrected by November 2024.
The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of infrastructural challenges, including plumbing issues (prior to the September 2024 inspection), where both ceiling and sink problems were reported in May 2023, as well as sanitary problems related to sewage and pests in September 2024. While the property has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past five years, the rodent inspection results present a mixed picture, with the most recent June 2025 inspection failing for unspecified reasons, following a pattern of initial failures in 2016 and 2021, though the building passed compliance inspections in 2024 and 2023. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require regular attention, particularly regarding plumbing, building systems, and pest management.
