61 Chester Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story residential building at 61 Chester Street in Brownsville, owned by Shalom Malul, has experienced several recent maintenance issues that warrant attention. Most notably, from January to April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions with pests, flooring issues, plumbing problems involving a basin/sink, and an electrical power outage - all of which were closed due to inspection access issues.

The building has also a documented history of annual bedbug report violations from 2022-2024, though the most recent 2025 bedbug report (filed April 29, 2025) shows no instances of infestation or eradication, which is a positive development. The property's maintenance record shows some consistency in reporting and addressing issues, though many recent complaints were not able to be inspected properly by HPD.

Going further back, the building's rodent inspection in July 2012 was passed, and there have been no recorded violations related to rodent problems since. The building, constructed in 2006, has undergone regular annual bedbug reporting and appeared to maintain compliance with this requirement in recent filings, though the previous violations indicate some previous oversight in this area. While the closed complaints indicate issues requiring attention, the repeated inability to access the property for inspections suggests potential communication or access challenges between management and regulatory agencies.
