Is 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 13 certifications filed against 6 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 23 Class C violations, all 23 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since June 15, 2026. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Is 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened March 31, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed March 4, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Is 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

When was 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1976 as the year 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 155 residential units at 342 Chester Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD vacate orders, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD vacate orders, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
