654 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

654 Chauncey Street is a two-family residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1910 and currently owned by Townhouse Rental III, LLC. The property experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in late summer 2022, with multiple emergency complaints regarding sewage problems, door malfunctions, and a significant water leak, though inspections generally found no violations except for one bell/buzzer issue that was subsequently addressed.

There was a notable period of construction-related activity between 2020-2021, with several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints regarding work without permits and stop work orders, though these were ultimately resolved and dismissed. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 documented unauthorized interior demolition work and installation of new plumbing and electrical systems, resulting in a $6,250 penalty that has since been resolved. The building has maintained a generally good record since these incidents, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025) and successful rodent inspections passed in 2022, 2024, and most recently in May 2025.

Historical records show some rat activity in 2018, but subsequent inspections have consistently shown compliance. The property has also demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units since the reporting period began in 2022. While there were several housing maintenance code complaints in 2022, these appear to have been largely resolved without ongoing violations, suggesting that the current management has addressed most pressing issues.
