853 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 853 40th Street in Borough Park, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Rajesh Rupnarine, presents several concerning issues as of mid-2025.
Most notably, there are multiple open violations regarding the required annual bedbug reporting, with citations dating back to 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating a persistent failure to comply with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building also has an open Class B violation from August 2023 concerning a defective fire escape drop ladder at the front of the building, which represents a significant safety concern.
Recent service history from 2023 shows two notable incidents: a pest-related complaint in September 2023 that was resolved through HPD inspection, and a heat/hot water issue in August 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building's record suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding compliance with basic health and safety requirements, including pest management and emergency egress systems.
