51 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

51 Mac Donough Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jarret Yoshida. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024.

Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints regarding potential illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms, though most of these complaints were closed without violations being substantiated, except for two instances where Oath Violations were served. In late 2020, the building faced safety concerns when a missing handrail at the first-floor exterior stair entrance created a hazard, leading to an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation with a penalty of $312, as well as a subsequent violation for failure to correct this condition with an additional $1,250 penalty.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent three inspections (2024 and 2025) passing, though there were multiple instances of rat activity documented in 2022-2023. A permit was issued in March 2022 for exterior work (EW) under job number 340838115. While the property has had various violations and maintenance issues over the past several years, recent inspections indicate some improvement, particularly in rodent control, with the most recent inspections consistently passing.
