40 Garden Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201

40 Garden Place is a historic four-story brownstone building located in Brooklyn Heights, dating back to 1879. The property, owned by Harry Waller, currently consists of three residential units and has undergone several significant administrative events in recent years.

The building has consistently faced issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by three open violations in 2023 and 2024, along with one closed violation from 2022, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code regulations. Notably, there have been no documented cases of bedbug infestations in the past several reporting periods, with official filings in 2022 and 2021 showing zero infested units, suggesting the violations may be primarily administrative in nature rather than indicating an active pest problem. The building's maintenance record shows relatively few issues beyond the bedbug reporting violations, with a site conditions complaint in July 2024 that was investigated and found to have no warrant for violation.

Historical inspection records reveal successful rodent inspections in both 2013 and 2015, both passing without issues. The property has maintained its Class A designation as a "Heretofore Converted" building, though it is unclear what previous classification it held. While the current bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant ongoing compliance issue, the absence of documented infestations and successful rodent inspections suggests general maintenance standards are being upheld, with the primary challenges appearing to be related to regulatory compliance rather than resident safety or comfort.
