345 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 3-story, 7-unit tenement building at 345 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joel Kohn and built in 1906, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concerns about water, mold, and pest problems. Most recently, in 2025, there were multiple complaints about mold (April and March), and earlier in 2024, there were significant issues with pests, ceilings requiring attention, and multiple mold complaints, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.
The building has an active violation from May 2024 regarding defective fire doors, which is classified as a Class C violation, and a notable ECB violation from September 2022 concerning unauthorized occupancy of the cellar space. The property has undergone several inspections and work periods that raised concerns. In 2020, there were multiple stop work orders issued during construction, and a gas utility referral in 2019.
The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance regarding bedbug reporting, with no confirmed infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024 filings). Rodent activity has been documented in recent inspections, with the most recent being June 2025, though previous inspections between 2013-2020 generally passed. The building's repair and maintenance history shows significant work undertaken in 2019-2020, with multiple permits issued for plumbing and electrical work, though some of this work led to complaints about unlicensed plumbing work in September 2022.
