511 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family residence at 511 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shimon Sabah, has experienced several significant events since 2018, with the most recent issues occurring in 2023. The property has undergone multiple construction-related incidents, including three complaints in March 2023 regarding construction activities, one of which involved a stop-work order that was ultimately fully rescinded.

A notable violation was issued in March 2023 for failure to provide inspection access, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Another violation in September 2022 documented unpermitted renovations, including new walls, ceilings, floors, electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC work, along with concerns about excessive debris and lack of guardrails, also carrying a $1,250 penalty.

The building has experienced health-related issues, specifically two complaints about standing water in August 2018, which were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. However, the property has maintained a positive record with rodent inspections, successfully passing all three inspections conducted in late 2018 and early 2019. While the recent construction activities and associated violations suggest ongoing work and potential safety concerns, it's worth noting that the building has generally passed health inspections and the recent construction-related complaints did not result in sustained enforcement actions, as most were resolved without permanent penalties or violations.
