815 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The two-story, five-unit New Law tenement building at 815 40th Street in Borough Park, currently owned by Jian Zheng, has experienced several notable issues since 2022. Recent complaints in 2023-2024 include an electrical lighting problem investigated by HPD with no violations found, and there are two active illegal conversion complaints from late 2023-2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises.
A cluster of maintenance issues was documented in March 2022, including plumbing problems affecting both the bathtub/shower and sink, ventilation system concerns, and mold issues, with violations being issued for the bathtub/shower problems while the other complaints resulted in no violations. The building's recent bedbug reporting history shows mixed results, with four units affected and subsequently treated in late 2023, while previous and subsequent reporting periods (2024-2025) show no infestations.
The property, built in 1931, has had recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, though many complaints resulted in no violations being issued. The presence of active illegal conversion complaints and the building's age warrant attention, though it's worth noting that not all reported issues resulted in documented violations or ongoing problems.
