457 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The three-story New Law Tenement building at 457 40th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Robert Chen, has a mixed but generally stable record since 2020. Built in 1914, this six-unit building experienced one rodent-related complaint in June 2020, which was promptly investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations, with follow-up inspections in August 2020 also showing no rodent issues.
The property had one Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 related to the required annual bedbug report, though this does not appear to indicate any actual infestation. Notably, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent 2025 report confirming no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infestations.
This pattern of reporting suggests effective management of pest control issues, with the building passing all relevant inspections and maintaining clear records since the initial rodent incident. The property's response to regulatory requirements and inspection results indicates generally compliant property management practices over the past five years.
