518 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
518 Chauncey Street is a three-story, six-unit old-law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Abca Real Properties LLC. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2019 and 2025, and inspection results indicating ongoing rat activity as recently as March 2024. The property has undergone several rounds of rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications documented throughout 2023 and early 2024.
In addition to pest control measures, the building has faced multiple health and safety concerns related to heating systems, including a recent heat/hot water complaint in January 2025 that the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to access issues. Other maintenance concerns include unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and general pest issues reported in August 2023, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections of these complaints. The building has a documented history of regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
Four separate Notices of Violation (NOVs) related to bedbug report filings have been issued between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent bedbug reports filed in 2024 show no infested units. The property's inspection records show consistent monitoring and treatment efforts for both rodent and pest issues, with multiple compliance inspections noting rat activity. While some recent complaints have been resolved without violations, such as the garbage/recycling storage and pest complaints in 2023, the ongoing rodent problems and recent heating system access issues suggest continuing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
