319 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 319 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joel Spitzer, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple "No Lighting" complaints in 2025 (including ones from May 30 and June 9) and a bell/intercom system issue in June 2025.
The building has also struggled with heat and hot water provision, with several complaints recorded between 2024-2025, including multiple open complaints from late 2024 regarding building-wide heat and hot water issues. In addition to these ongoing maintenance concerns, the building has violations related to safety equipment.
Inspections in late 2024 revealed multiple issues in apartments 1R and 2R, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and instances of pest infestations involving roaches and mice. There are also three active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 regarding failure to file annual low-pressure inspections, dating back to 2018-2023. While the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs across multiple reporting periods from 2022-2024, rodent inspections reveal a mixed record, with rat activity confirmed in June 2025, though a June 2024 inspection passed.
