513 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
513 Chauncey Street is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, that was built in 1901 and is currently owned by Giovanni Castro. The building has experienced several concerning issues recently, with two emergency complaints regarding no lighting and unsanitary mold conditions filed in February 2025, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in response to these complaints.
Prior to this, there were four consecutive annual bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024, each relating to non-compliance with HPD's bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent filing for the period ending in October 2023 showed no infested or re-infested units. The building has also faced ongoing safety compliance issues, with unresolved violations from 2017 related to smoke and carbon monoxide detector notice requirements in common areas, and multiple violations regarding maintenance of ceilings and paint in the building's public areas and Apartment 1. In terms of recent inspections and investigations, there were three complaints filed in late 2023 regarding illegal after-hours work, construction beyond approved plans, and sustainability enforcement, though inspectors did not find violations in these cases.
A penalty of $625 was imposed in December 2023 for not having approved construction documents on-site during inspection, while an illegal conversion complaint from 2020 could not be investigated due to lack of access. The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2018-2019, suggesting no current issues with pest infestations. The persistence of certain violations, particularly those related to safety notifications and bedbug reporting, along with the recent problems with lighting and mold, indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building.
