1360 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1360 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Abe Friedman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2020. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of water-related problems, with three documented water leak complaints in 2022-2023, including recent violations for a damp spot in September 2024 and a heavy flow issue in February 2023.

The building has also faced various sanitation concerns, with multiple pest-related complaints in 2023 and mold violations in 2022. Recent inspections have revealed several open violations from October 2024, including issues with the public hall's fire retardant plaster, lighting, and maintenance of self-closing doors, both at the building entrance and in apartment 1R. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various violations over the years, including structural concerns documented in 2022 regarding the building's facade and fire escape access.

Earlier maintenance issues included plumbing problems (2022), heat/hot water issues (2022), and interior maintenance concerns such as flooring and paint/plaster problems (2022). Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations, with reports from 2019 through 2024 confirming no affected units. While many violations have been addressed, several remain open as of October 2024, particularly regarding the public hall's maintenance and specific issues in apartment 1R, including mold, water damage, and missing carbon monoxide detectors.
