71 Mcdonald Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

71 McDonald Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Windsor Terrace, owned by John Gentile and constructed in 2000. The building has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with three consecutive notices of violation registered between 2021 and 2024, all of which have since been closed.

These violations, while primarily procedural in nature, indicated the building's management had not initially fulfilled the annual bedbug reporting requirements mandated by NYC Housing Maintenance Code. However, it's noteworthy that throughout this entire period, and continuing to the present, there have been no actual reported instances of bedbug infestations within the building.

The most recent bedbug report filing from July 2025, as well as previous filings from 2024, 2022, and 2021, consistently show zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero re-infested units. The building's record from 2021 through 2025 demonstrates consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in terms of actual reporting, though the initial violations suggest there was a learning curve for management in understanding and adhering to the regulations. While the building has maintained a clean record with respect to actual bedbug infestations, prospective tenants may wish to consider the building's history of initial compliance issues with the reporting requirements, even though these have been resolved and no actual infestations have occurred.
