204 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
204 Mac Donough Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by George Lin. The property has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns primarily focusing on apartment 2C. As of July 2023, eight open violations were documented in 2C, including problems with plastered surfaces, vinyl tiles, wood floors, and various walls in the bathroom, foyer, and hallway.
The building has a history of appliance-related complaints, particularly regarding electric/gas ranges, with multiple inspections occurring between 2020 and 2023, though most recent inspections (2023) resulted in no violations being issued. The property has undergone rodent inspections regularly, with the most recent result in August 2024 showing compliance, following an initial rat activity finding in June 2024. Significant infrastructure concerns have been reported, including a 2022 emergency regarding carbon monoxide detectors. Notably, a Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was investigated in March 2025, but no violations were found at that time.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple consecutive reports (2021-2025) showing zero infested units. Environmental maintenance issues have been persistent throughout the building's history, with irregular patterns of rodent activity documented between 2019 and 2024, though the most recent inspections show improved conditions. The most recent HPD inspections in July 2023 resulted in new violations being issued specifically for 2C, while previous years demonstrated a mix of resolved complaints and ongoing maintenance needs. The building's age and history suggest typical New York City tenement maintenance challenges, with some recent improvements noted in rodent control compliance and the resolution of certain appliance-related issues.
