426 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

426 39th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Yi He. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints in April 2023, December 2020, and multiple incidents in 2021, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. A significant cluster of violations occurred in early 2022, including an investigation of a mouse infestation in apartment 2F, scalding hot water in the kitchen, and several building maintenance issues such as a defective stairwell door and problems with the heating system access.

During 2021, multiple complaints regarding various issues including pest problems, flooring, and door-related concerns were reported, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. More recently, in 2023, there are open violations related to bedbug reporting and heating system access, and while the building has submitted bedbug reports for the periods of 2022-2023 and 2020-2021 indicating no infestations, rodent activity was recorded during inspections in 2019, with bait applications noted between February and October 2019. The building's most recent inspection dates (2023-2024) show some ongoing compliance issues, including an Open Class C violation regarding the heating system notice requirements from March 2023.

Historically, the property has experienced various maintenance challenges typical of older tenement buildings, with a noticeable pattern of heating system-related problems requiring emergency responses. These issues appear to have persisted over multiple years, with varying levels of resolution according to HPD records. The building's age and history suggest continued monitoring of basic services and maintenance issues is warranted, though recent bedbug reports show proper reporting compliance with no active infestations reported.
