1260 40th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-story, two-unit residential building at 1260 40th Street in Borough Park, owned by Anton Klein and built in 1901, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most significantly, there is an ongoing pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations recorded between 2021 and 2024.
These violations indicate the building's failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) over multiple years, including the most recent inspection in April 2024. Additionally, there has been a recent environmental violation concerning the property's curb and sidewalk area.
In August 2024, a violation was issued against "KLEIN CHAIM" for improperly modifying the sidewalk curb, which was observed during an inspection that same month. This violation, for failure to maintain the building and surrounding area in a code-compliant manner, has an associated penalty of $500 that remains due. The modification reportedly involved cutting the curb to create a lowered portion, presumably for vehicle access, and while this violation is active, the associated complaint regarding an illegal driveway was ultimately closed with an "Oath Violation Served" disposition in August 2024.
