510 Chester Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-story, 9-unit tenement building at 510 Chester Street, owned by Mhany 2002 Hdfc, has experienced a number of concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active ECB violation from 2022 regarding multiple boiler room problems including debris, defective CO detector, improperly placed pump cover, faulty temperature gauge, missing flame doors, and a missing sewer cap, with an associated fine of $3,125.

Recent inspections in 2024 identified multiple violations in Apartment 3RDFLO, including issues with mold (approximately 25 square feet in the bathroom ceiling), pests, door problems, and flooring concerns, though some related violations were also issued for common areas such as a defective self-closing door in the 1st story public hall. The building has a documented history of water and sanitation issues, with multiple complaints regarding mold and pest infestations between 2022 and 2024, some requiring emergency interventions.

A sewage-related complaint from late 2024 is notably the most recent service request, though no violations were ultimately issued following inspection. Despite these persistent issues, the building has maintained an active bedbug record showing no infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, and recent maintenance records indicate some attention to basic safety systems with previous violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1B being certified as corrected in mid-2023. The building's age (constructed in 1925) and the nature of these recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and environmental conditions, though some improvements appear to have been made through various permit issuances and violation corrections.
