1579 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 1579 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Yenty Neuschloss, has a documented history of pest-related issues requiring attention. Most recently, in January 2021, a rodent-related complaint was filed with DOHMH that remains in progress as of July 2025. The building experienced multiple pest-related emergencies in 2019, with complaints in May and July, though HPD was unable to inspect the conditions in July.

The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with the most recent reports in 2025, 2023, and 2020 showing zero infested units. Historical inspection records indicate past violations requiring correction of safety features, including the need to properly repair fire-retardant plaster ceilings, address roof leaks, and ensure proper posting of safety notices (fire, carbon monoxide, smoke detector requirements) in public areas. The building's maintenance history reveals several notable building code violations from 2019, including issues with an unattached radiator, the need for various repairs in public areas, and failure to file the annual boiler inspection report in 2017 (dismissed in 2021).

In terms of infrastructure and safety requirements, violations were documented in 2019 regarding improper posting of required safety notices and the condition of the bulkhead area. While a rodent inspection conducted in 2014 passed compliance, another initial inspection that same year resulted in failure for unspecified reasons. The property has responded to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the regular filing of bedbug reports since 2019, though concerns remain regarding ongoing pest-related issues as indicated by both 311 complaints and housing code violations.
