24 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

24 Mac Donough Street is a 4-story, 15-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ilsoo Kim and constructed in 1905 as an Old Law Tenement. The property experienced significant damage from a fire that occurred on September 24, 2023, affecting the 4th floor (particularly apartments 4F and 4G) and the roof structure, which partially collapsed. This incident resulted in several active Department of Buildings violations regarding unsafe conditions, emergency work requirements, and structural non-compliance due to fire damage and exposure to the elements.

Following the fire, the building has had multiple gas supply violations affecting kitchen ranges across several floors (1E, 1F, 1G, 3E, 3F, 3G, 4E, 4F, 4G) during 2024, though most of these have been certified as resolved by November 11, 2024, with only one remaining open violation as of August 2024. The building's recent inspection history shows mixed results for rodent activity, with a "Rat Activity" result in June 2025, following a "Passed" inspection in December 2024. Prior rodent inspections from 2019 to 2024 consistently showed passing results.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2020 to 2023, with no reported infestations during these years. Three local law compliance inspections were conducted in 2024-2025, including an active job related to Local Law 188/17 compliance that is currently listed as "ACTIVE." The building has undergone various inspections and filings related to maintenance and repairs, including responses to multiple Failure to Maintain complaints in September 2023. While the building has faced several maintenance challenges, including the recent gas supply issues and rodent activity, it has generally maintained compliance with bedbug eradication requirements over the past four years.
