1377 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

This three-story, two-family house located at 1377 40th Street in Borough Park was built in 1931 and is currently owned by David Sofer. The building's history reveals several noteworthy maintenance and health-related issues since 2014.

Most recently, there have been two food establishment complaints in 2021 and 2022 regarding bare hands in contact with food, though these were both closed with notation that the issues were addressed. Between 2014 and 2022, significant violations were documented in Apartment 2FL, including problems with walls and ceilings requiring repainting, the presence of mice, and multiple maintenance issues such as broken glass, window problems, electrical concerns, and water-related damage. Building-wide issues included missing balusters and handrails at public hall stairs, and a 2014 inspection revealed rat activity, followed by an unsuccessful compliance inspection.

More recent records from 2023-2024 (as of July 2025) show no reported bedbug infestations in the past two filing periods (2024-2025 and 2023-2024), and the lack of any new housing maintenance violations or major service requests in recent years suggests improved conditions. The building underwent several repairs over the years, with many violations reaching certification of correction by 2022. The absence of recent violations or pest issues could indicate effective management and maintenance practices in more recent times, though it's important to note that these records only reflect documented issues and resolutions, and may not represent the current state of the building's maintenance or resident experience.
