1040 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 8-unit, 5-story building at 1040 Union Street in Crown Heights, currently owned by Unionprop LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water supply problems. The most recent documented issue, from September 2024, involved paint and plaster concerns, though an inspection was unable to be completed. The building had multiple plumbing-related incidents in July 2024, with seven separate complaints regarding water supply problems, all categorized as immediate emergency needs.

These followed a similar water supply complaint from November 2022, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. In addition to plumbing issues, there was one flooring complaint in April 2024. The building's history includes attempts to investigate various concerns, with inspections performed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Buildings, though in some cases, no violations were found at the time of inspection.

Between 2018 and 2019, there were complaints about debris and illegal conversion, but these were also closed with no violations found. Notably, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past two years (2023-2025), with two consecutive filings showing zero affected units, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the building has experienced recurring plumbing issues and some maintenance concerns, the absence of documented bedbug infestations and relatively prompt resolution of most complaints indicates active management attention to building maintenance, though the pattern of water supply complaints suggests this remains an area requiring ongoing oversight.
