453 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 453 40th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Gregory Lublin, has been maintained under close observation regarding bedbug management compliance over recent years. The building consistently submitted its required annual bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024, showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the reporting periods.

However, there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has undergone several permitted improvements, with multiple plumbing (PL) and electrical work (EW) permits issued between late 2019 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and infrastructure updates.

Two complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings: one in 2023 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections that resulted in no violations warranting action, and an earlier complaint in 2018 concerning potential illegal hotel room usage that was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access to the property. Despite these issues, the building's current bedbug reporting shows a commendable record of no infestations in the most recent reporting period (2022-2023), suggesting effective management of this particular concern, though the pattern of bedbug report-related violations indicates recurring compliance oversight in this area.
