354 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
354 Chauncey Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Shlome Reifer, dating back to 1906. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints between May and June 2025 regarding water leaks, mold, and ceiling problems, resulting in HPD violations. The building has ongoing structural and safety concerns, including open violations from December 2024 related to water leaks and plaster issues in Apartment 4, and pest infestations documented in Apartment 5.
A significant fire incident in 2019 was noted for causing non-compliance issues regarding fire stopping, though these were subsequently resolved through repairs. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly concerning water damage and unsanitary conditions, with numerous HPD complaints being filed throughout 2025. Recent inspections have passed rodent control checks, though there have been multiple instances of rat activity reported between 2021 and 2024.
The property has also faced structural challenges, with building shaking complaints registered in 2021 and 2023, which were determined not to warrant violations upon inspection. The building underwent facade repairs following a 2020 violation, which cited multiple issues including vertical cracks and spalling concrete. While there have been regular bedbug inspections conducted since 2019, all reports show no infestations. The owner has received multiple HPD violations and Department of Buildings citations over the years, including issues with building access and maintenance of common areas, though many have been resolved.
