652 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

652 Chauncey Street is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Abdullah Faruque and built in 1910. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over recent years, with significant clusters of plumbing-related complaints in both 2018 and 2019, including problems with bathtubs, sinks, and toilets. An inspection in October 2018 revealed several violations in the second-floor apartment (2FLR), including issues with leaky kitchen faucets, electrical service deficiencies, and various problems with plastered surfaces and paint in multiple rooms and the bathroom.

The building has also faced electrical and door-related complaints during this period. While many of these violations were ultimately closed, they indicate a history of maintenance challenges. More recent history shows the building underwent some major work in 2020, as evidenced by an ECB violation for unpermitted work involving gut renovations in the entrance hallway and second-floor restroom ceiling. However, this issue was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The property has maintained consistent rodent control compliance since 2016, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without issue. Three complaints were recorded in 2020 regarding local law audits and after-hours work, though no violations were found upon inspection. A permit was issued in July 2020 for unspecified work (permit type EW). The building's recent history suggests improved maintenance practices, particularly in terms of pest control, though the earlier plumbing and electrical issues indicate there were significant maintenance challenges that may have affected resident comfort and safety during that period.
