457 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

457 Chauncey Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1905 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with particular attention needed regarding pest control and sanitation. Most notably, there were multiple sanitation-related complaints in June 2020 involving garbage/recycling storage issues that limited access for inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building has consistently required annual bedbug reporting, with records from 2021-2024 showing "0" infested units, indicating proper management of this concern in recent years. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of both systemic issues and targeted violations. In 2018, specific problems were documented in apartment 3L, including mouse infestations and defective window components, though these violations were subsequently closed.

More recently, in 2024 and 2025, there were complaints regarding after-hours work and construction without proper permits, though inspections did not result in documented violations. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2017-2018, with most passing but some initial inspections noting failures for "Other Reasons." Three permits were issued in 2018 for various work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. The most recent bedbug reporting from December 2024 shows continued compliance with city requirements, maintaining a record of zero infested units over the past year.
