1119 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1119 42nd Street in Borough Park is a newly constructed three-story, eight-unit residential building completed in 2024 under the ownership of Maria Voitcu. The property has experienced persistent housing maintenance code violations over the past four years, with four consecutive annual violations (2021-2024) related to failing to file mandatory bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. Most recently, in March 2024, an Environmental Control Board violation was recorded regarding an unsafe construction fence condition, though this was subsequently resolved with a $2,500 penalty.

The building has been subject to several Department of Buildings complaints and inspections in recent years, including three in 2024 (September, August, and February) that were all found to have no violations warranting further action, despite being related to construction compliance and sustainability concerns. Prior to its completion, the building underwent a demolition and construction process that generated multiple complaints and inspections. An initial notification of full demolition was accepted in November 2021, followed by the issuance of a demolition permit on November 5, 2021.

During the construction period, there were concerns about compliance with approved plans and permits, as well as sustainability enforcement issues, though these were all ultimately closed without any finding of violations. Most recently, in February 2025, a sweep inspection was conducted with no violations found. The building's documented history shows a pattern of administrative compliance issues rather than safety concerns, with the most significant being the unresolved bedbug report filings and the one noted construction fence violation while under construction.
