336 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 3-story, 6-unit residential tenement at 336 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Gluck, was constructed in 1906 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent concerns, beginning in early 2024, involve multiple complaints about ceiling paint/plaster conditions that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect despite multiple access attempts. A notable cluster of violations emerged in 2021 from Apartment 3B, including issues with water leaks, mold, and problems with both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

These violations were cited under various sections of the Housing Maintenance Code, though some were eventually resolved, such as the mold removal by December 2021. The building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting record from 2019 to 2023, showing no infestations in any reporting period, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issues, suggesting improved conditions in these areas. The building's history also includes some concerning patterns in accessibility issues for inspections, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2022 showing inspectors unable to gain access to the premises.

These included complaints about door/window problems and work being done without permits, including plumbing work, though no violations were found in the Certificate of Occupancy complaint from 2021. The property has maintained its registration and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements through 2023, and recent rodent inspections have consistently passed, indicating improved general maintenance. Three active violations remain from 2021 regarding water leaks, inadequate plaster work, and other maintenance issues in Apartment 3B, as well as an annual bedbug reporting violation from March 2023 that appears to have been resolved.
