1238 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The property at 1238 40th Street in Borough Park is a three-story, three-unit building owned by Raizel Seltenreich and constructed in 1901. The building has consistent and persistent open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with four consecutive annual violations documented between 2021 and 2024, indicating an ongoing failure to file the necessary annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.
These violations, while administrative in nature, reflect a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements. More recently, in August 2024, the property received an Environmental Control Board violation related to an unauthorized curb cut, which had been illegally lowered for approximately 10 feet and posted with "No Parking" signs.
This violation, which carries a penalty of $655, remains active as of the most recent data, suggesting potential ongoing compliance issues with the Department of Buildings. The illegal curb modification was documented during an inspection conducted on August 15, 2024, shortly after a complaint was filed regarding the unauthorized driveway modification. While the bedbug reporting violations represent a significant concern regarding compliance with housing maintenance standards, the more recent curb-related violations indicate potential complications related to property access and parking in the vicinity of the building.
