532 Chester Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

532 Chester Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Eunice King. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints in early 2025 about both apartment-specific and building-wide deficiencies.

These heating system problems appear to be an ongoing concern, with similar complaints recorded in 2022. The building has also faced various appliance-related issues, including problems with cooking gas lines and ranges, though inspections have often encountered access problems, resulting in closed cases without proper verification of the reported issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of pest-related challenges, particularly affecting the 3rd floor (Apartment 3R), which has documented violations for mouse infestations and visible mold conditions in 2022.

Other notable issues have included water leaks, a lack of proper window guards, and various maintenance violations requiring repairs and attention to sanitation. However, there is positive news on the pest front - the building has consistently reported zero infested dwelling units in its annual bedbug reports since 2019, showing effective pest management in this regard. The most recent filing period (2024-2025) and all previous periods show no instances of bedbug infestations, and the only rodent-related inspection on record from 2012 showed a passing result, though this is quite outdated compared to current conditions.
