516 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
516 Chauncey Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Eunice King. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, particularly with rodents, throughout 2024, with multiple DOHMH complaints showing mouse and rat sightings between August and October 2024. The building underwent a significant incident in June 2024, with fire damage reported in apartments 2B and 3B, leading to several violations including the need for repairs to plastered surfaces and fire-retardant materials.
During the same period, a series of maintenance issues were documented, including electrical problems in apartment 1B (missing outlet covers), unsanitary conditions, and various repair needs across different units. The building has active elevator-related violations from 2020 regarding inspection filings, and two open Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 concerning elevator inspection requirements. Recent inspection history shows a pattern of rodent activity, with multiple instances of rat activity and the application of bait in late 2023 through 2024.
While there have been some recent 311 complaints about building conditions, including a door issue in late 2024, most recent inspections have shown either no violations or successful resolution of previous issues. The building's pest management situation appears to have improved recently, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a "Passed" rating. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2020, with all annual reports showing zero infested or re-infested units.
