393 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

393 Chauncey Street, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, was built in 1906 and is currently owned by Eli Braver. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in May 2025 and previous occurrences in October 2023 and March 2023. These heating system problems have resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heat supply in affected apartments and locked access to the heating system.

In March 2023, the building faced several significant violations in apartment 1L, including defective carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate hot water supply, and fire egress issues related to obstructing bars or gates. The building has demonstrated some maintenance progress, with several non-emergency complaints in 2024 resulting in inspections that found no violations, including issues with windows, cabinets, and appliances. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, passing all recent inspections from 2012 to 2025, with only one failed inspection in 2009.

Bedbug reports for the building have shown minimal issues, with only one documented infestation in 2020-2021, which was eradicated, and subsequent filings from 2022-2025 showing zero infested units. In 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues (specifically basin/sink problems) and intercom system problems, though HPD was unable to gain access to complete inspections for these complaints. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, including the recent heat and hot water problems, the building's rodent control record and bedbug management have been consistently documented and maintained, with no recent infestations reported.
