3 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 3 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Genesis Herrera, has experienced ongoing challenges with pest control and maintenance issues since at least 2019. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with pests, as evidenced by multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints, with the most recent being rat sightings in October 2024 and inspections showing rodent activity in 2025.
The building also has a pattern of unsanitary conditions, with several complaints between 2022-2024 related to pests that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. Unit 4R has particularly documented violations, including issues with vinyl floor tiles, leaky faucets, and other maintenance concerns, with some violations remaining open as of 2023. The building's recent history includes several significant incidents affecting resident comfort and safety.
There was a heat and hot water outage in October 2020 affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored shortly after tenant notification. Between 2019-2020, violations were documented regarding steam system components, and there was a complaint about illegal/Improper vent/exhaust systems that was investigated but found to have no violation warrant. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and 2024, with only two failed inspections noted in 2021 and most recently in 2025 showing "Rat Activity." It is worth noting that the building has maintained a bedbug-free status since at least 2020, with no reported infestations in the last five years.
