525 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 525 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Carlo Formisano, has been in operation since 1901 and currently holds a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" designation. The most pressing concern for this property is a recurring pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unfiled annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024.

These violations suggest ongoing non-compliance with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development's (HPD) bedbug reporting requirements, though the nature of the violations themselves does not directly indicate an active bedbug infestation. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control regulations, having passed three consecutive rodent inspections in January 2019 and February 2018.

While the open bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024 are concerning from a compliance perspective, it's worth noting that the building has maintained regular rodent inspections and met the requirements in this area. The pattern of bedbug report violations, occurring annually over multiple years, is particularly notable as these were all categorized as Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, though they are administrative in nature rather than directly related to physical building conditions or pest infestations.
