42 Sidney Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201

42 Sidney Place is a 4-story, 14-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Terrence Lowenberg. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with a significant cluster of complaints emerging in June 2024, including problems with plumbing (toilet and water supply), electrical systems (outlet/switch), and window/frames. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and were closed without any violations being issued.

During the same inspection period in June 2024, three violations were documented related to building maintenance standards: a defective light fixture in the 4th-story public hall, broken fire-retardant plaster in the same area, and issues with the hall ceiling paint. These violations were properly addressed and certified as corrected by July 2024. The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reports filed between 2020 and 2024.

The most recent report from December 2024 confirmed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the building passing all inspections in 2013, 2015, and most recently in February 2023. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2024, the rapid resolution of these problems and the absence of violations suggests proactive management. The property's maintenance history shows regular compliance with mandatory reporting requirements, including annual bedbug reports and rodent inspections, indicating generally responsible building management practices.
