40 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
40 Starr Street is a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Nina Herman. The property has experienced numerous maintenance concerns over the past several years, particularly during 2020 when multiple complaints regarding mold and pests were filed, though inspection access was not granted in those cases. The building has had recurring rodent-related issues, with inspections showing rat activity in January 2025 and evidence of rodent presence in September 2021, though most rodent inspections since 2022 have passed.
There are three active Bedbug Reporting filings from 2023-2025 showing no evidence of infestation during their respective reporting periods. The building has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a current active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection report. Historical records show structural issues were documented in 2012 for apartment 2L, including problems with kitchen floor wood and plastered surfaces.
The property has undergone various plumbing-related inspections and work, with a significant issue in 2018-2019 regarding a suspended plumber's license that required the appointment of a new master plumber to continue work. Recent activity shows improved compliance regarding pest management, with subsequent Bedbug Reporting filings (2022-2025) showing no inhabited units affected, though there was a previous pattern of violations for failing to file annual reports in 2021 and 2023. The building's maintenance response to reported issues has been variable, with several instances of inspectors being unable to access the property during investigations, particularly in early 2020 when multiple unsanitary condition complaints were filed.
