403 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

403 Chauncey Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and owned by Claudette Henry. Built in 1906, the property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns arising in August 2024 related to ceiling paint/plaster conditions in Apartment 1A, for which violations were issued. There have been recurring heating system problems, with no heat or hot water complaints logged in November 2023 and February 2019 affecting the entire building, though in the 2023 incident, tenants reported the issues were eventually resolved.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in 2019, including plumbing issues (water supply problems), electrical concerns (no lighting), multiple paint/plaster complaints, and a significant water leak incident. Despite these issues, the property has maintained an active protocol for pest control and building inspections, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025) according to the bedbug reporting requirements, and regular successful rodent inspections, with the most recent passed inspections recorded in June 2025 and 2024. The building's bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.

Violation records show compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, though these violations were classified as "Class A," meaning they were of significant concern to housing authorities. The property has a history of multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention between 2019-2024, though many of these situations were resolved with inspections that found no violations or were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The most significant recent violation, from August 2024, relates to both water leakage and plaster/paint issues in Apartment 1A that currently remain open.
