1537 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 1537 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Regina Lichtenstein and constructed in 1930, has experienced persistent documentation issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years. The building currently has an open housing maintenance code violation from April 2024, as well as similar violations from March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
These violations appear to be procedural in nature, focusing on reporting requirements rather than indicating an active infestation problem. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a complaint investigated by the NYC Health Department regarding a daycare facility associated with the building, though this matter was promptly closed within one day.
While the bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing administrative challenges, there is no documented evidence of active pest control issues, and the most recent health department investigation appears to be unrelated to the building's general condition or habitability. The building's code violation history suggests a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no records indicating that this pattern has been resolved as of the latest available data.
