1240 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The two-story commercial property at 1240 Broadway in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ste Werdiger and built in 1910, has a complex record of maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are several open violations from 2021-2024 related to bedbug reporting non-compliance, indicating failure to file required annual reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code.
The building's history also shows significant occupancy and safety concerns, particularly during 2020-2021, when it was found to have been occupied with unauthorized bedroom and bathroom installations, presenting as an unsafe building with inadequate egress and no sprinkler system. Multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued in late 2020, with penalties totaling $68,750, relating to occupancy contrary to permitted usage, unauthorized work, and failure to comply with correction orders.
Recent inspections between 2023 and 2025 show ongoing rodent activity, with multiple bait applications and compliance inspections throughout 2024-2025, suggesting continued pest management challenges. The building's earlier history includes a period of uncertainty in 2020, with multiple complaints about unauthorized occupancy and construction work, leading to a Full Vacate Order in September 2020. While some permits were issued in 2019 for work related to the property, the subsequent violations and enforcement actions indicate significant regulatory non-compliance concerning building safety and maintenance requirements.
