1060 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1060 39th Street is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Borough Park and owned by Qidi Yang. The building, constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from 2020 onwards, there have been recurring concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector compliance, though initial investigations into these reports found no violations.

The building has repeatedly failed to file the required annual bedbug reports between 2021-2024, with the most recent report (July 2024) indicating no infested units during the 2022-2023 period. Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open from 2021, including failures to properly post required safety notices related to carbon monoxide detection, smoke detection, gas leak procedures, and building inspection certificates, as well as an open violation regarding lead-based paint hazard notification and documentation. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, particularly evident in 2018-2023, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity and the application of bait.

In 2022, there was a construction-related incident leading to a Stop Work Order and a subsequent Environmental Control Board violation for unauthorized work, which was resolved with a penalty of $620. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of prompt response to some issues (as evidenced by the quick resolution of the 2020 safety complaints) while highlighting persistent documentation and safety posting compliance challenges. The most recent inspections and filings indicate improved bedbug management, though historical patterns suggest this has been an ongoing concern.
