274 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
274 Chauncey Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1920 and currently owned by Izzy Berger. The building has experienced persistent water-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, including slow leaks, damp spots, and heavier flows.
More concerning are the recent developments regarding structural and maintenance compliance; as of July 2025, there is an active violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, with similar violations dating back to 2018 showing a pattern of non-compliance with this requirement. A notable environmental control board violation from 2022 documented a large vertical crack in the building's exterior facade. The building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3R (third floor), which has open violations from 2021 related to defective plaster surfaces, painting requirements, and window repair needs.
There was also a period of pest-related issues in June 2022, specifically involving mice in apartment 4L, for which violations were issued, though these appear to have been resolved. While the bedbug reporting system shows no documented infestations or eradications between 2021 and 2024, the building has had fluctuating rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, though this follows a "passed" result from May 2024. The property has undergone multiple housing maintenance code inspections, with various paint/plaster, water leak, and pest-related complaints filed and addressed through HPD, typically resulting in no violations, though some repairs and maintenance issues have persisted.
