521 Mcdonald Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 521 McDonald Avenue in Kensington, built in 1930 and currently owned by Angela Palazzolo Murdocca, has demonstrated consistent attention to pest control requirements over recent years. The building has maintained an exemplary record of bedbug management, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past six reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and the most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 continues this positive trend.

While there was one Housing Maintenance Code violation noted in March 2022 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report - which appears to have been promptly addressed given subsequent reports show proper compliance - this appears to have been an isolated incident. The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of improvement over time.

From 2015 to 2019, there were instances of rat activity noted during inspections in July and August 2015, October 2019, and a failed inspection in May 2018, though subsequent follow-up inspections in the same periods generally showed compliance. More recently, rodent-related inspections conducted in December 2019 showed passing results, indicating improved conditions. The property has shown diligence in maintaining required inspections and reporting, particularly regarding bedbug management, with regular submissions to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) demonstrating ongoing attention to pest control compliance.
