463 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 8-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 463 40th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jose Fernandez, has experienced persistent rodent issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple rodent-related incidents in 2024, including confirmed rat activity in October and failed compliance inspections.
The property has also recorded two recent animal-related complaints, with a closed case in September 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions related to a cat, and a mouse sighting in November 2023 that resulted in minor violations being found. The building's maintenance history reveals several areas of concern, including an open Class B violation from April 2019 regarding inadequate outdoor lighting at the front entranceway, though this violation was certified as corrected shortly thereafter.
The Department of Buildings received a complaint about possible illegal conversion in November 2019, but access was denied during inspection in February 2020. While the building appears to have maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2022-2025), the presence of recurring rodent issues, particularly recent rat activity, and the unresolved lighting violation from 2019 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent DOHMH inspection in September 2024 found violations requiring follow-up inspections, indicating potential persistent sanitary concerns.
