1139 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The property at 1139 39th Street in Borough Park is a two-story, three-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Beatrice Suarez. The building has faced several significant compliance issues over the past four years, most notably the failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, which remains an open Class A violation with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

In 2021, the building experienced multiple simultaneous complaints and violations, including concerns about illegal construction work, an unauthorized high iron fence (5.5 feet instead of the permitted 4 feet), and an illegally cut driveway curb. The Department of Buildings (DOB) related violations for this period remain active, including penalties for the fence violation.

The property has also had documented safety inspection issues, including a fire escape inspection in August 2021 that resulted in no violations being issued, though HPD had difficulty accessing the building for a door-related complaint inspection. While the building's address analysis indicates recent compliance with certain maintenance code requirements, the persistence of the bedbug reporting violations and the active DOB violations for the illegal curb cut and fence suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance. The multiple construction-related complaints from August 2021, including allegations of work without permits and illegal conversions, were generally found to warrant no violations, though some resulted in oath violations being served.
