440 Berry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

440 Berry Street is a 6-story, 66-unit residential building built in 1995 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Elizabeth Moronta. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during the winter months of 2022-2025, with multiple emergency complaints documented between January 2022 and April 2025. Recent maintenance concerns include unresolved electrical and plumbing issues reported in April 2025, and a mosquito infestation reported in June 2025.

While a rodent inspection in March 2023 passed without violations, the building had documented rodent and pest issues in previous years, including an open mouse infestation violation in December 2021 in apartment 5B. The building has generated several Department of Buildings complaints over the past four years, including one regarding an inadequate sprinkler system in February 2025 and an electrical wiring complaint in June 2023 that resulted in no violations being found during inspection. The property has multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with records from 2023 showing failure to file the required documentation for multiple years between 2020-2021.

Previous housing maintenance code violations have also been addressed, including those related to building safety requirements such as carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirements, and various A and C class violations primarily focused on building safety and maintenance requirements, all of which have been marked as resolved. The building's bedbug reports show sporadic infestations, with the most recent report for 2023-2024 showing no affected units, though there were documented cases in previous years (2021-2022). The property has also undergone various permitted maintenance work, as evidenced by multiple work permits issued between 2020-2022, including electrical work whose completion dates require verification.
