1126 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-family building at 1126 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by William Casalino, is a three-story structure built in 1901 that has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. The property has encountered recurring asbestos-related complaints, with three reports between late 2022 and 2023, though inspections resulted in no violations in one instance, while another prompted a warning letter to the property management.

There was also an emergency heat/hot water complaint in February 2019 that was resolved promptly. The building has faced multiple violations related to unauthorized curb modifications, with three separate incidents documented between 2018 and 2024, resulting in two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 and 2024, for which a $500 penalty was imposed in 2024. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with the most recent report from June 2024 indicating no infestation issues between November 2022 and October 2023, and previous filings in 2021 and 2022 also showing zero affected units.

The building's regulatory history shows consistent attention to compliance matters, with particular focus on the annual bedbug reporting requirements, which have resulted in several violation notices between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent filing in June 2024 shows proper reporting with no affected units. The property has demonstrated responsiveness to health and safety concerns, with most complaints being resolved through inspections and required corrections, though the repeated nature of some issues, particularly regarding the curb modifications and asbestos concerns, suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The building's age and status as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" property indicate its historical conversion from a single-family to multi-family use, which may contribute to some of the management challenges observed in the violation records.
