Augrented Insights Report for 45 Chester Street

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 45 Chester Street in Brownsville, owned by Abraham Weinstock and built in 1910, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat/hot water services, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in December 2023, and violations issued regarding inadequate heat supply in the cellar and first story.

The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, including multiple plumbing issues, electrical outages, and safety concerns. Recent inspections in December 2023 identified several violations, including inadequate handrails and broken concrete at the front stoop, as well as concerns about unauthorized occupancy of cellar rooms with bathroom facilities. Historically, the property has been under scrutiny for unauthorized modifications, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions between 2019 and 2023, though access was often denied during inspections.

These concerns were substantiated by Environmental Control Board violations in 2023-2024, citing illegal occupancy and tenant amenities issues. The building's hazardous conditions have included multiple emergencies requiring HPD intervention, though routine systems (including bedbug and rodent control) appear to be adequately managed based on the most recent inspections. While some violations have been resolved and penalties paid, the persistent nature of heating, plumbing, and unauthorized occupancy issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
