1123 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, three-unit building at 1123 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Getzel Fish, has a documented history of construction-related issues between 2019 and 2022, with several notable incidents regarding unauthorized construction work and safety concerns. The most significant events occurred in early 2020, when multiple stop-work orders were issued on February 27th, leading to violations requiring immediate cessation of all work and site safety measures; though these violations were ultimately dismissed in May 2021 following rescission of the work orders.

Throughout 2020-2021, there were several building inspection attempts regarding permits and compliance issues, with inspectors often unable to gain access on multiple occasions, including complaints about work performed contrary to approved plans and construction beyond permitted scope. Prior to these incidents, in late 2019, there were two complaints regarding unprotected adjacent buildings on May 2nd and May 7th, though one of these resulted in a fully rescinded stop-work order.

The building's recent history from 2022-2023 shows fewer issues, with the most recent complaint being from May 2022 regarding a missing certificate of occupancy, though this inspection also resulted in an access-related disposition. The property was subject to three "CSE: Sweep" inspections in September 2019, none resulting in violations. While the building has experienced multiple regulatory interactions over recent years, most of these issues have been resolved through inspections and dismissal of violations, with no recorded incidents suggesting immediate safety concerns in the more recent period leading up to 2023.
