75 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit building at 75 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Yusef Thomas, is a two-story structure built in 1901 that has undergone conversion to a Class A building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water failure affecting the entire building in May 2022 that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

In 2021, there was also a report of unsanitary conditions related to mold, though no violations were issued following the investigation. The building has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including an unfiled annual bedbug report in both 2023 and 2024, and various issues addressed in 2022 including repairs needed for a self-closing door in the boiler room, lighting requirements for the 1st story public hall, and multiple safety features in Apartment 3 such as missing carbon monoxide detectors, hot water issues, smoke detector repairs, and faucet leaks.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent annual filings from 2022 through 2024, and consistent passing rodent inspections in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024, and most recently in July 2025. A plumbing complaint from July 2021 was recorded, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt in January 2022. While the building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention, many violations have been resolved, as evidenced by the "Close" status on most recent violations, though some concerns about building systems and safety features have persisted over time.
