Augrented Insights

AI summary · updated June 2026

40 Sidney Place is a three-story, eight-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Cecilio Paquay. The building has maintained a solid record of pest management over the past several years, with the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 showing zero affected units, continuing a consistent pattern of no infestations since 2018. Rodent inspections have also consistently yielded positive results, with the most recent inspection in February 2023 passing without any issues, similar to previous inspections in 2015 and 2013.

The only recent Department of Buildings complaint on record was filed in July 2022 regarding failure to maintain, though this was promptly investigated on August 12, 2022, and resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. With no subsequent maintenance complaints or violations on record, and considering the building's excellent pest control history and passed rodent inspections, the property appears to be well-maintained from a basic habitability perspective. While the building's age of 126 years is notable, the consistently positive inspection results and lack of persistent complaints suggest that the property has generally been kept in good condition, though individual tenant experiences may vary.
