536 Mcdonald Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 536 McDonald Avenue in Kensington, built in 1930 and currently owned by Hsc Us Group Llc, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding fire escape safety in June 2025, and a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building in March 2025.
The building has an active Class A violation for not filing annual bedbug reports, as per HPD requirements, which has remained open since April 2024. Previous years' violations for the same issue were closed, including filings for 2021 and 2022 that reported no infestations or eradication requirements.
The building's recent service history shows a pattern of serious maintenance concerns, with the most pressing being the unresolved heat/hot water access issue from March 2025, where HPD was unable to inspect the apartments. While the bedbug reporting shows periods of compliance from 2019-2021 with zero infestations reported, the current open violation regarding the bedbug report filing remains a notable concern. The fire escape safety issues reported in June 2025, which were classified as emergencies, warrant particular attention due to their potential impact on resident safety.
