409 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
409 Chauncey Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The New Law Tenement, completed in 1906 and currently owned by Leon Barwacz, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints filed through 2018-2021, particularly notable in December 2019 when several units reported lack of service. While some complaints were resolved with restoration of service, others resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to units for inspection.
The building has undergone several inspections and repairs, with class A violations noted in 2019 regarding improper posting of gas leak procedures and missing inspection certificates, though these were subsequently addressed. In terms of maintenance and environmental health, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the annual filings from 2020 through 2024. Recent rodent inspections from 2019-2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management.
Two significant construction-related violations were recorded in 2019 involving MJH Construction Corp, concerning work not conforming to approved documents and failure to comply with a commissioner's order, though these were resolved with monetary penalties. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with all annual filings showing zero infested units. Recent inspections through 2024-2025 continue to show no significant health or safety concerns, with all housing maintenance code violations being closed and addressed appropriately, though the recurring nature of heat and hot water issues remains notable throughout the building's complaint history.
