353 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
353 Chauncey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Richard Bramwell and built in 1907. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning its heating systems and mold problems. Most notably, there were two separate heating/hot water complaints for the entire building in January and November 2019, with at least one violation regarding inadequate heat supply confirmed in January 2019.
The building encountered multiple accessibility issues during inspections, with inspectors unable to gain access for inspections regarding mold, appliance problems, and electrical issues, including a power outage. In 2024, two violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were issued, while a March 2024 violation for fire damage was noted in apartment 1A. Recent developments in 2023-2024 indicate ongoing concerns with the building's infrastructure. The Department of Buildings issued two active violations in May 2023 regarding water heating equipment and an aquastat installation, with associated penalties totaling $1,562.
The building's heating system access continues to be a recurring issue, with violations noted in both 2017 and 2019. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, it had rat activity noted during a March 2020 inspection. The property's bedbug management program shows consistent reporting with no identified infestations since 2019, indicating effective pest management practices in recent years. The most recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed rodent inspections, suggesting improvement in this area, though the water heating equipment violations from 2023 remain a notable concern.
