696 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 696 Chauncey Street in Bushwick, built in 1901 and currently managed by 696 Chauncey Street LLC, has experienced several significant events over the past two years, particularly related to construction activities and safety concerns. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding construction work beyond approved plans and permits, with several inspections noting that inspectors were unable to gain access to verify compliance.

Notably, there was a building violation issued in March 2025 for failure to obey a stop work order, though subsequent inspections in April 2025 showed that the stop work order had been fully rescinded. Other construction-related complaints from summer 2024 included concerns about debris and adjacent building protection, though most inspections during this period resulted in either no violations or required referencing another complaint for details.

The property has also had recurring issues with rodent sightings, with the most recent complaint in May 2024 following a similar report in January 2020. While the 2020 complaint resulted in a passing inspection with minor violations noted, the 2024 complaint was closed due to an earlier complaint about the same location, with reference to the NYC Rat Portal for inspection results. Despite these health-related incidents, which typically represent a general urban maintenance issue rather than a building-specific problem, the property has undergone various construction activities as evidenced by the multiple violation complaints.
