197 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
197 Mac Donough Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1873 and currently owned by Eyal Ovadia. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past three years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity.
The building underwent multiple bait application treatments in both January 2025 and December 2024, following documented rat activity in January 2025. Prior to the recent treatments, the property experienced similar rodent challenges throughout 2024, with compliance inspections in July and June of that year also noting rat activity.
The only inspection on record that showed a positive outcome was conducted in October 2022, where the building passed the initial inspection, suggesting that the rodent problems have become more pronounced in recent years. The frequency of bait applications (eight instances between December 2024 and January 2025) indicates an ongoing effort to address the pest issue, though the persistence of rat activity suggests significant challenges in achieving long-term resolution.
