679 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

679 Chauncey Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Abe Green and constructed in 2004. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concern being a persistent rodent problem. Between 2023 and 2025, multiple inspections have documented rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in April 2024 noting violations that required follow-up inspections.

The building underwent a cluster of infrastructure issues in September 2023, including emergency situations involving water supply problems and a power outage, along with non-emergency concerns regarding an electric/gas range and outlet/switch issues. Specific violations were recorded in Apartment 2R during September 2023 related to inadequate electric service and hot water supply. The building's maintenance history also reveals some concerning patterns, including mold issues documented in March 2021 in the bathroom of Apartment 3, covering multiple walls and the ceiling.

While this violation was marked as closed, it had been upgraded to Class B status, indicating a more serious nature. The property has undergone multiple rodent control measures, with bait applied regularly throughout 2025, though inspections continued to reveal rat activity. The building had no recorded bedbug activity between late 2019 and late 2020, with reports showing zero infested units during that period. The combined history of plumbing, electrical, and pest control issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance, particularly in terms of basic systems and pest management.
