400 Chestnut Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The property at 400 Chestnut Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in East New York, built in 1925 and currently owned by Mahadeo Mangar. The building has experienced several concerning structural issues in 2025, with complaints of building shaking/vibrating and structural stability concerns documented in April 2025, followed by a sidewalk and concrete platform disrepair violation noting outward bulging and partial collapse requiring immediate attention and engineering review.
An illegal conversion complaint was also filed and noted in April 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations, with notices issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, though most recent filings from February 2025 indicate no infested units were reported in the previous two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023).
Prior to these recent issues, the building's maintenance record shows no significant violations in the past decade, and it passed a rodent inspection in May 2012. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the building's structural integrity and sidewalk safety, with active violations noted as of April 2025.
