129 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 129 Mac Donough Street property in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a four-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1903, currently owned by Esther Edwards. The building has had several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2020 when multiple non-emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks (damp spots), general cabinet issues, and ceiling paint/plaster problems.

While no violations were ultimately issued from these complaints, they indicate some maintenance concerns during that period. More recently, the building has maintained an impressive record of bedbug control, with annual reports since at least 2019 showing zero infested units or re-infestations, and the most recent rodent inspection from June 2024 passed successfully.

Though the building has shown improvement in various maintenance aspects, there are still some outstanding building safety compliance issues from a July 2020 inspection that remain unaddressed as of the latest data. These include missing required postings regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and housing information guide availability, as well as the need to display the building's registration number and inspection certificate. However, it's worth noting that the building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports since 2019 showing no infestation issues, and the most recent rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management practices in recent years.
