749 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 749 40th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Eid Atiyeh and constructed in 1915, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with emergency complaints filed in both 2018 and 2020, though HPD was unable to gain access during the most recent complaint investigation.
The building has also faced persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with four open violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. Additional significant maintenance concerns include a documented mold problem in October 2018, for which violations were issued, and water damage requiring repairs to the bathroom ceiling and east wall in Apartment 1L, also from October 2018.
This water damage violation includes both the need for proper repairs to address the source of the leak and restoration of damaged plaster surfaces and paint. The building's only rodent inspection, conducted in March 2017, did pass, but given the age of the building and its maintenance history, ongoing vigilance appears warranted.
