29 Chestnut Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

29 Chestnut Street is a two-family residential building located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, owned by Xiang Wang. The 2-story structure, built in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been two heat and hot water complaints within the past 18 months, including a recent emergency complaint in January 2025.

The building has also faced pest-related concerns, with an unsanitary conditions complaint filed in August 2024. Multiple paint and plaster issues were reported in mid-2024, though these complaints did not result in any violations upon inspection. The building's history shows some significant concerns from 2018-2019, including complaints about electrical wiring, permit violations, and an alleged illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access in these instances and no violations were ultimately issued.

A similar heat and hot water issue was reported in October 2019, but was resolved quickly according to tenant reports. While some of these complaints have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heat and pest-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Most of the recent complaints have been marked as "unable to gain access" during inspections, which may indicate difficulties in coordinating inspections with tenants or accessing all units as needed.
