1003 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1003 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Ned Farrell and built in 1910, has experienced several notable events in recent years that warrant attention. Most recently, in May 2023, there was a reported rat sighting that triggered a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection, though the inspection found no violations and the property passed.

This followed a pattern of compliance issues related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the building receiving three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules. However, the most recent bedbug report filing for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infested units, and the previous report from 2019-2020 also indicated no infestation issues, suggesting successful compliance with bedbug eradication protocols once the violations were addressed.

The building's rodent management appears to have improved over time, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2023 resulting in a pass, following the May 2023 rat sighting incident. The pattern of bedbug reporting violations, though concerning at the time, seems to have been resolved, as evidenced by the absence of violations in the most recent inspection cycles. The property has maintained a generally acceptable compliance record in recent inspections, though the initial rodent sighting in 2023 and the previous bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2023 indicate that there were periods requiring attention to pest management and regulatory compliance.
