475 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

475 Chauncey Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1905 and owned by Andrew Rafii. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a building-wide heating and hot water outage in October 2021, which was reportedly resolved within a few days. Multiple safety concerns were raised in July 2021, including issues with the fire escape and window guards, though inspections found no violations.

While there have been various repairs and maintenance needs documented, including electrical and plumbing issues in both 1R and 1L apartments, many of these violations have been properly addressed and certified as corrected. The building underwent several permitted work improvements in 2019, with multiple permits issued for electrical work. Recent records show no bedbug or rodent infestation issues, with consistent documentation indicating zero affected units and successful inspections.

Historical violations from 2017-2019 included bathroom water damage and electrical problems in multiple units, while more recent inspections in 2022-2024 have shown improved conditions. The building's maintenance history suggests active management response to violations, with most being properly addressed, though one violation regarding encumbrances in the first story public hall from 2021 remains open. The property has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspections, passing all rodent inspections since 2018 and showing no evidence of bedbug infestations in recent years.
