480A Chauncey Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Leslie Windsor. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant current violations being missing wood balusters at public hall stairs on all three stories, documented in May 2023 as Class C violations. The property has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though all were ultimately closed.

In 2019, there were numerous maintenance complaints including issues with doors, windows, walls, and an emergency report for an affected door, all of which were resolved within weeks. A concerning incident occurred in 2019 when the Department of Buildings issued an Environmental Control Board violation for illegal occupancy, noting that a Class A apartment was converted into four SRO rooms with shared facilities, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that has been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows proactive reporting and resolution of pest issues, with bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.

Rodent inspections in 2016 and 2018 showed passing results, though an initial rat activity inspection was recorded in February 2018. Several safety-related violations were documented in October 2019, including missing carbon monoxide detector notices and necessary postings regarding gas leak procedures, all of which were certified as corrected by November 2019. A complaint regarding work without a permit in 2021 was investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted. The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 indicates continued compliance with reporting requirements, showing no infested or re-infested units in the past year.
