44 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The four-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building at 44 Mac Donough Street, owned by George Nunez and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in late May 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding water leaks, mold, and various structural issues including problems with floors and walls. While some of these complaints were investigated and closed without violations, two flooring-related complaints remain open with HPD unable to complete inspections.
An April 2025 inspection revealed pest problems and various maintenance issues including plumbing, flooring, and cabinet problems, though many were found not to violate housing laws. The building has an active violation from November 2024 concerning multiple maintenance issues in Apartment 1B, including problems with plastered surfaces, infestations, and defective fixtures, though some violations were subsequently closed after being addressed. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2024 showing both passed and failed results, particularly noting rat activity in December 2023 and compliance failures in January 2024.
Notably, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024 shows zero recorded infestations. The Department of Buildings records show a boiler inspection violation from 2019 that was dismissed in 2020, and several construction-related permits were issued between 2020-2022 for various repair and maintenance work, including plumbing and electrical work. While many recent complaints have been addressed and closed, the pattern of repeated maintenance issues and the number of unresolved complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
