140 Nelson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

140 Nelson Street is a three-story, three-unit residential tenement building located in Carroll Gardens and owned by John Pinto. Built in 1901, this Old Law Tenement property has maintained a relatively stable record over recent years. The building's most significant maintenance concern occurred in April 2021, when a Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded for failure to file the required annual bedbug report with HPD, though this violation was subsequently closed.

However, the building has demonstrated consistent adherence to bedbug reporting requirements in subsequent years, with all reports from 2021 through 2023 showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across any of the dwelling units. In mid-2025, there were two complaints lodged against the property, both concerning issues related to adjacent buildings and work without permits in occupied multiple dwellings. The first complaint, filed on June 26, 2025, regarding unpermitted work, was investigated the same day and found to warrant no violations.

The second complaint, filed the following day (June 27, 2025), concerned adjacent buildings and resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access during the inspection attempt. It is notable that both of these recent complaints were not directly related to the building's internal conditions or maintenance. Since 2021, the building has maintained an active compliance record, with no documented instances of bedbug infestations or related issues since the April 2021 violation, suggesting improved attention to regulatory requirements.
