1251 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
As of July 2025, 1251 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Edward Friedlander, is a 3-unit, 3-story former converted Class A building constructed in 1901. The property has experienced persistent issues with housing maintenance code compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually between 2021 and 2024.
These violations stem from the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. More recently, in 2024, the building faced infrastructure-related challenges when an illegal modification to the property’s curb was reported and subsequently cited by the Department of Buildings.
This violation, entered on March 29, 2024, concerned a cut in the curb to create a driveway access point, which was considered a code compliance issue. The violation, assigned ECB Violation Number 39122058L and issued on August 15, 2024, resulted in a $500 penalty, which remains unpaid as of the latest records. This curb modification violation, while not directly affecting internal living conditions, indicates non-compliance with municipal infrastructure regulations.
