871 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 871 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Juan Garcia, has undergone several noteworthy inspections and service requests since 2021. Most recently, in February 2024, the building experienced multiple safety concerns including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards, along with a pest-related complaint. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) within a week and surprisingly, no violations were issued, despite the safety concerns being classified as emergencies.

The building's history shows a pattern of bedbug reporting requirements being triggered, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the annual bedbug report as per HPD regulations. However, the most recent bedbug filing for the period ending October 31, 2024, indicates no units were infested, and all six units were reportedly eradicated, with no re-infestations recorded. This pattern suggests improved pest management in recent years.

During the 2024 bedbug reporting period, there were also no violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though previous years had shown consistent issues with non-compliance. The building's maintenance record shows periodic inspections and required filings across multiple years, with some violations remaining open for extended periods. While the most recent inspections and complaints have been promptly addressed, the history of safety-related issues and pest management challenges might be of interest to potential tenants. The building's current status shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though recent safety concerns in 2024 highlight areas requiring attention.
