728 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-story, 1-unit residential building at 728 Chauncey Street in Bushwick, owned by Winard Taylor, is a 126-year-old structure classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly focusing on water-related problems.

Most notably, in July 2024, there were multiple emergency service requests and subsequently issued violations related to water leaks and ceiling damage in Apartment 2's kitchen and bathroom. Additional maintenance concerns have included mold issues (July 2024), ceiling plaster problems (July 2024), and various heat and hot water system failures throughout the building (May 2024), with some violations still listed as open. The building's security and access systems have also been problematic, with complaints about the intercom system and front entrance door not meeting maintenance requirements being documented in both May and July 2024.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a passing record during regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, 2022, 2020, and 2012 all showing compliance. While many of the recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024 have been addressed and closed, several remain open, particularly concerning water leaks and plaster damage in Apartment 2, as well as hot water issues affecting Apartment 3. The building's age and history suggest it has undergone conversion to its current use, having been built in 1899 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, though specific details about the conversion process are not provided in the available data.
