347 Mcdonald Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

347 McDonald Avenue is a 4-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Mcd Ave LLC. The building has experienced recurrent heating issues recently, with multiple heat/hot water complaints documented in January 2025, including emergencies affecting both entire building and individual apartments, though these were subsequently verified as corrected by HPD. The property has a notable history of maintenance issues, including significant violations recorded in 2022 related to building infrastructure, such as defective self-closing doors, damaged fire-retardant materials, and required repairs to brick walls.

Additional 2021-2022 issues included problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, water leakage, and an appliance complaint regarding the electric/gas range. The building was cited for multiple violations in 2022 requiring repair of various structural and safety features, including a defective entrance door and issues with the building vestibule's walls and ceiling. As of 2024, there was an outstanding violation regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report from 2017, marking this as an active issue.

The building's bedbug reporting from 2024 shows no current or previously infested units since November 2022. Rodent inspections conducted in 2010 and 2019 both resulted in passing grades. Despite these various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that most recent complaints have been addressed through official inspections and verifications, though some structural issues and heating system reliability remain concerns based on historical data. The building's management has generally responded to most HPD complaints, with many being closed after verification of corrections.
