417 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 49-unit, 3-story building at 417 40th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Vincent Theurer and constructed in 1938, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service in recent months. Most notably, there have been two heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 (February 1 and February 22), both involving the entire building, with at least one case requiring emergency intervention. The building has also faced challenges with maintenance and safety compliance, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints.
A 2024 inspection revealed several open violations related to fire safety, including defective fire-retardant plaster in public hall ceilings and maintenance requirements for building walls and appurtenances. Recent building history shows ongoing concerns with basic services and maintenance, including door/window issues in late 2023, indoor air quality problems with chemical odors in mid-2023, and plumbing concerns involving radiators in late 2022. The property has experienced periodic rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in April and May, though a September 2024 inspection resulted in a passing grade.
Notably, while there have been documented bedbug infestations in the past (notably in 2020-2021), recent annual filings from 2021 through 2025 show no reported infestations, suggesting successful eradication efforts. The building's recent history (2023-2025) indicates particular attention needed to heating systems, building maintenance, and pest control. Open violations from 2024 regarding fire safety in public areas and various maintenance issues suggest ongoing work is required to ensure compliance with housing codes. Periodic rodent activity noted in recent inspections indicates this remains an area requiring attention, though previous inspections had shown compliance.
