192 East 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

192 East 40th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Rony Balu. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns in apartment 2F. The most recent violations, as of June 2024, include problems with electrical outlets, water leaks, and damaged plaster surfaces, all of which remain open.

Earlier in 2024, there were multiple complaints about wall issues, damp spots, and window frames, some of which resulted in violations. The building's history shows persistent problems with humidity and maintenance, including a mold issue reported in January 2024 that was classified as an emergency. Other maintenance concerns documented include refrigerator issues, flooring problems, and various electrical concerns throughout 2023-2024, though many of these complaints were resolved without violations.

The building's bedbug reports from 2024 and 2025 show no recorded infestations during their respective reporting periods, with no units requiring eradication. A rodent inspection from December 2009 indicated compliance with pest control standards, though this is considerably dated compared to recent maintenance concerns. While some violations from 2024 have been resolved, the presence of open violations as of June 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also been subjected to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to paint/plaster, door/window repairs, and water damage, indicating systemic maintenance issues that may affect resident comfort and building upkeep.
