454 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
454 40th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1923 in Sunset Park, currently owned by Madelaine Dillon. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a pattern of heating and safety-related problems.
In December 2021, there was a documented incident of heat and hot water failure, though these services were reportedly restored upon inspection. September 2021 was particularly problematic, with multiple emergency complaints including heat/hot water issues, door/window problems, and safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, along with two immediate emergency plumbing/water supply complaints. The building has also faced persistent bedbug-related violations, with open violations from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code regulations.
Other notable violations include a 2018 issue in apartment 1R regarding a missing carbon monoxide detector, and a 2018 window guard violation in apartment 2R. While several historical violations have been closed, including specific door-related issues in apartment 2R from 2021, the persistence of bedbug reporting violations across multiple years suggests ongoing regulatory non-compliance. The building's documented issues span various categories, including safety (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), security (door issues), and health (pest problems), indicating ongoing concerns with building maintenance and resident safety.
