533 Chester Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

533 Chester Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building located in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Joe Redek. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues, with 10 heat and hot water-related complaints filed between November 2023 and March 2025, most of which were reported as being resolved by HPD inspectors confirming restoration of services during their investigations.

In 2024-2025, the building faced two separate pest infestation issues, with a notable infestation documented in September 2024 in Apartment 1F, which received a Class C violation requiring abatement of mouse infestation, and evidence of pest-related violations in Apartment 1R from August 2023 through subsequent inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals several additional concerns, particularly affecting Apartment 1R, including multiple housing maintenance code violations documented in August 2023 related to paint/plaster issues, water leaks, and window frame conditions - all of which were subsequently addressed and closed, with some violations receiving certification of correction by December 2023.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units across the last five annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. The resolution of most complaints generally indicates prompt attention to issues, though the recurring nature of heating system problems has been a notable pattern in the building's recent history.
