738 Chauncey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story building at 738 Chauncey Street in Bushwick, owned by Aaron Williams, has been monitored through various health and maintenance inspections since its 1899 construction. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement under Housing Maintenance Code, with four consecutive open violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, indicating non-compliance with this important tenant protection regulation.

The building experienced significant pest-related issues in 2022, with documented rat activity in March and September, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show improved conditions with "Passed" results. The property has also had documented pigeon waste issues in December 2021, prompting inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though there have been no similar complaints recorded since then. It's worth noting that the building's conversion to "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" status indicates it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the records.

The most recent inspection history shows improvement in both rodent control and general sanitation, with no active complaints regarding pigeon waste or rodent activity since mid-2022. However, the persistent bedbug reporting violation remains open as of April 2024, which could indicate ongoing challenges with compliance to housing regulations. The building's history shows a mix of sanitation challenges and recent improvements, with particular attention needed to the outstanding bedbug report violation that has persisted for multiple years.
