1162 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 1162 42nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Chaskel Rubin, has been facing recurring regulatory challenges related to both bedbug reporting compliance and safety violations. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report, marking the third consecutive year (following similar violations in 2022 and 2023).
While the building's official bedbug report for 2022 (covering November 2020 to October 2021) indicated no infestations, the persistent reporting violations suggest potential oversight in compliance requirements. Of significant concern are two active Environmental Control Board violations from July 2024, with substantial penalties totaling $3,750, related to unauthorized construction work affecting safety systems.
These violations were issued for alterations to the building's fire escape and the installation of an unauthorized metal porch/metal balcony structure at exposure 2, including modifications that allegedly involved cutting the existing fire escape steps at the third-floor level and attaching them to a surrounding metal fence. These safety-related violations, along with the open bedbug reporting violation, represent the most notable ongoing regulatory issues for this property as of 2025.
