Augrented Insights Report for 740 Chauncey Street

740 Chauncey Street is a 3-story, 2-family residential building constructed in 1899 in Bushwick, currently owned by Mark Weiss. The property has experienced persistent pest control issues, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and rodent inspection results showing regular rat activity between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation.

The building faced significant maintenance challenges in late 2021 through 2022, including mold, pest, and various building system issues, prompting multiple HPD inspections. While some of these complaints were resolved without finding violations, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's history includes several major incidents in 2019, when multiple violations were documented regarding water supply issues, unauthorized work, and occupancy violations, including an illegal conversion of the second-story apartment into five bedrooms.

These violations were resolved through an environmental control board process. More recent violations from 2022-2023 focus primarily on public area maintenance issues, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint, and various systems in the public hallways, though many of these violations were closed following inspections, indicating some level of resolution. The property shows no recorded bedbug infestations between 2020-2021 and appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
