40 4th Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Boerum Hill, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Marla Siegel. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable incidents occurring in April 2023 involving plumbing problems, including a leaky bathroom basin/sink in apartment 2R and issues with a steam pipe/riser—though no violations were found for the latter upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past five years according to records from 2020 through 2024.

A building stability complaint was filed in December 2023, but no violations were found during the inspection. In 2019, there was one Environmental Control Board violation issued regarding construction supervision protocols, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed. The property has maintained a generally positive inspection record over recent years, passing a rodent inspection in September 2022 and showing timely compliance with various housing maintenance code requirements.

Historical data shows that the building had two bedbug-related violations in 2021-2022 when the annual report requirement was not filed, but this issue was resolved in following years with no further violations. The building's most recent maintenance activities include the certification of plumbing repairs in June 2023, demonstrating the owner's responsiveness to maintenance issues. While there have been various maintenance issues requiring attention, most have been addressed promptly and generally resulted in no penalties or severe violations.
