64 Chester Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 64 Chester Avenue in Kensington, owned by Jozef Kasprowicz Trust, has been facing ongoing regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an open violation from 2024 stating the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, marking the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) of similar violations related to bedbug reporting requirements.

The building has also accumulated various open violations since 2019 that warrant concern, including issues with the first-floor public hall area regarding fire safety and maintenance requirements such as defective fire retardant material repair (Class B violation), light-colored paint requirements (Class A violation), and the need to post a completed certificate of inspection (Class A violation). Past complaints suggest safety concerns in 1R apartment from July 2019, including a defective carbon monoxide detector (Class B violation) and multiple issues related to door functionality and security, though these specific violations have since been resolved.

An emergency maintenance complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues was logged and resolved within ten days in July 2019, though this appears to be an isolated incident. A complaints investigation from October 2018 was closed due to inspector inability to gain access. The building's age (built in 1931) and its classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it was constructed during an era of specific housing regulations, and it has periodically struggled to meet current housing maintenance code requirements, particularly regarding safety features such as bedbug reporting and carbon monoxide detection systems.
