173 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

173 Mac Donough Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Linda Cook and constructed in 1886. The property has demonstrated recurring compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirement, with open violations noted in both 2023 and 2024, despite having properly filed the bedbug report for the 2020-2021 period showing no infestation.

Previous years from 2021 to 2022 also show similar bedbug reporting violations, though those were eventually closed. The building underwent two rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, both of which passed, indicating no rodent infestations. Additionally, there was one complaint in June 2022 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though this investigation concluded with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.

The property's most concerning issue appears to be the pattern of unresolved bedbug report violations over the past several years, with the most recent open violation as of April 2024. While the building's rodent inspection results have been consistently clean, the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest potential challenges with meeting housing maintenance compliance requirements. The absence of any recorded apartment-specific violations or complaints, and the building's age and historical preservation status as a converted Class B building, provide additional context for the property's condition.
