525 Chester Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 525 Chester Street in Brownsville, owned by Yossi Yaacov, has experienced notable infrastructure challenges, particularly during a concentrated period in early 2019. Between January 31 and February 12, 2019, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with tenants reporting various problems and some inspections unable to gain access to the units.

These complaints were accompanied by two non-emergency water supply related issues on February 4, 2019. Housing Maintenance Code violations were subsequently documented, including open violation notices as of February 2019 for problems requiring attention in the public hall of the second story, such as a leaking roof, degraded fire retardant plaster, and the need for painting, along with specific heating and hot water issues in Apartment 2.

More recently, in 2021, there was a complaint regarding illegal or defective gas hook-up or piping, though the investigation conducted on February 10, 2021, found no violations at the time of inspection. A permit (Job Number 321846393) was issued on November 22, 2019, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the provided data. Since these incidents, particularly the 2019 heating and water issues, which represented a significant cluster of complaints, there is no available information on any similar subsequent incidents, and the property is currently subject to open violations primarily concerning problems in the public hall areas.
