167 Chestnut Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

167 Chestnut Street, a 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1901 in Cypress Hills, is currently owned by Jennifer Mohammed. The building has experienced recurring issues with door and window maintenance, particularly during 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding doors, door frames, and window frames, with one complaint in April resulting in violations. The property has faced significant heating system challenges, with multiple complaints in late 2019 and late 2020 regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though HPD inspections indicated restoration of services when access was granted.

More recent violations from 2022-2024 include failure to file annual bedbug reports and various safety-related issues identified during a September 2021 inspection, such as a missing electric outlet cover in the first-story vestibule, a locked fire escape window in Apartment 2, and defective self-closing doors. The building's safety compliance record indicates several areas requiring attention, including the need for proper notices regarding gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detecting device requirements, and smoke detector requirements in common areas. There are also open code violations related to these matters.

A complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion was filed in December 2020, but access was denied during the inspection attempts in February 2021. While a rodent inspection conducted in October 2019 resulted in a passing grade, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with both building systems and safety compliance, particularly during the 2019-2021 period. The current status of many violations remains open as of the latest available inspection dates through 2024.
