119 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, four-unit building at 119 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by James Jenkin, was constructed in 1872 and has undergone conversion to Class A status in recent years. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, most notably during a concentrated period of complaints in late 2018 through early 2019. These included multiple plumbing-related problems specifically involving toilets, a slow water leak, issues with door frames, ventilation system troubles, and concerns about mold.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect many of these complaints, though some inspections did result in violations being issued. More recent records indicate the building has maintained better compliance with housing regulations, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four annual reporting periods from 2019 to 2023, and passing rodent inspections in both 2022 and 2024. The most recent HPD violation from April 2024 pertains to an unfiled annual bedbug report, which remains open as of the current date.

The building underwent a significant cluster of repairs in 2018, particularly in Apartment 1, which included work on door frames, electrical systems, ventilation, and flooring issues. Most of these violations were eventually closed, suggesting they were addressed properly. The building's documented history shows a substantial amount of maintenance activity and regulatory compliance efforts over the past several years, with no major recurring issues in recent times.
