456 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 456 40th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jorge Reinoso, has experienced recurring electrical issues over the past year, with three documented power outages in 2025 alone (January, May, and another unspecified date). Recent complaints also highlight concerns about garbage/recycling storage (May 2025) and previous issues with unsanitary conditions including mold (September 2024) and plumbing problems (water supply issues in January 2025). The building has multiple open violations from a September 2024 inspection of Apartment 2A, including problems with peeling paint, water leaks, and window repairs.
The property has several active violations regarding external low pressure inspection filings from 2018-2023, and there are concerns about safety features, including a currently open violation related to gas leak procedures and bedbug reporting requirements. In addition to these ongoing maintenance issues, the building's history shows some notable events. In 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water and safety concerns related to the fire escape.
The building previously faced three illegal conversion complaints in 2019-2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claims. While a rodent inspection in 2022 passed, the building's overall maintenance history suggests recurring issues with systems requiring attention. The property has experienced four power outages in 2023-2025, along with various infrastructure concerns including heating systems, gas supply, and sanitation facilities, indicating ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.
