656 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn

Small Bed-Stuy walk-up where management routinely skips annual paperwork, set on a block with noticeable noise and venting activity.

A four-unit Bed-Stuy walk-up built in 1910. The building carries 5 open housing code violations, but 4 of them are missed annual bedbug report filings. Here is what to know before touring:

Management routinely skips mandatory administrative filings. Management has 5 open housing violations on file, including an invalid registration notice from late 2025 and 4 repeated violations for missing annual bedbug filings dating back to 2023. It points to sloppy administrative habits rather than active physical damage.

Surrounding commercial kitchens and air quality calls show localized odor drift. Within three blocks, residents logged 4 food establishment complaints and 3 indoor air quality reports over the past year. Cooking odors and air quality issues can travel through shared risers or rear lightwells, making unit placement relative to ground-floor commercial spaces worth checking.

Surrounding blocks see heavy sidewalk noise and music. 75 residential noise calls and 64 street noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the past 12 months. The street complaints concentrate on loud music and sidewalk crowds, so window orientation makes a real difference for evening noise.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 67 illegal parking calls within three blocks last year, mostly posted sign violations and blocked hydrants
• 59 rodent calls logged across the surrounding three blocks in the past 12 months
• One lead kit request filed from inside the building in February 2026
