44 Chestnut Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family residence at 44 Chestnut Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Willie Dennis and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years, as documented in city records. The most significant recent incidents occurred in 2020-2021, with multiple emergency maintenance complaints filed in October 2021 regarding door/window frames and door issues, following similar complaints in September 2021 about window frames and appliances.

This pattern of repairs suggests persistent challenges with building openings and appliances during that period. Additionally, there were two complaints about heavy water leaks in August 2020, one of which was marked as emergency level, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in this case.

Looking further back, the building underwent an initial rodent inspection in March 2012, which it successfully passed, indicating no significant pest issues at that time. While the documented complaints were addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with resolutions provided in most cases, the recurring nature of the maintenance issues in 2021, particularly regarding doors, windows, and appliances, stands out as the most concentrated period of reported problems in recent history. The most recent documented issues were resolved within a few days of reporting, which demonstrates relatively prompt attention to maintenance concerns.
