175 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit building at 175 Chauncey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Dean Moody and constructed in 2005, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. In January 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various problems, including water supply issues, door frame concerns, ceiling maintenance needs, and potential mold problems.

While some of these complaints were investigated and found not to violate HPD housing laws, others resulted in violations being issued, particularly concerning ceiling paint and plaster conditions. A cluster of emergency maintenance issues emerged in January 2025, including unsanitary conditions related to sewage and mold, concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with electrical outlets/switches. The building currently has multiple open violations from 2024, including gas supply issues to the kitchen range in Apartment 1, damaged wood flooring in Apartment 1, and various maintenance needs in Apartment 2 relating to plaster surfaces, bathtub repairs, and water leak issues.

Notably, there are documented violations regarding mold conditions in Apartment 2's bathroom ceiling. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections in July 2025, July 2024, November 2022, and March 2020, the frequency and nature of the recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings issued a permit in June 2019, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data.
