1214 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1214 42nd Street is a 3-story, single-unit New Law tenement building located in Borough Park, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jacob Roth. The building's recent history shows regular compliance with the Bed Bug Reporting requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent 2024 report showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, and previous reports from 2022 and 2021 also indicating no infestations or eradications.

The building has had two permits issued in the past five years - one in 2022 for plumbing work and another in 2019 for general alterations, both of which were issued under job number 300806938. The property has experienced some regulatory challenges over the years, particularly in 2018-2019 when multiple complaints regarding illegal commercial use and construction violations were filed against the building. A construction-related complaint from October 2021 was resolved in February 2024 with a request for corrective action.

An illegal commercial use complaint from June 2019 was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" during the inspection. However, these issues appear to have been addressed, as no similar complaints have been recorded in recent years. The most significant recent violation relates to failure to file the annual bedbug report, with notices issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature and not indicative of an actual infestation problem.
