1250 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 1250 42nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Mordchai Klein, has experienced recurring issues with compliance to housing maintenance codes over the past several years. Most notably, there are three open violations (as of April 2024) related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, representing a potential concern for residents' comfort and wellbeing.

The building has undergone several inspections revealing various safety concerns, particularly in Apartment 3, where violations for defective self-closing doors (Class C) and non-functional carbon monoxide detectors (Class B) were documented in June 2023. These violations were subsequently certified as corrected in July 2023. In 2021, there was another instance of a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 3 (which was certified corrected in May 2022) and a violation related to the accumulation of refuse in the cellar/boiler room area (Class C), which was also corrected.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring compliance issues, particularly regarding safety systems such as carbon monoxide detectors and door requirements, as well as documentation requirements for bedbug reporting. While some violations have been addressed and closed, the ongoing bedbug report violations suggest this remains an area of non-compliance. The property, constructed in 2001, has experienced these maintenance challenges within its relatively short history, indicating ongoing attention may be required to maintain compliance with housing maintenance codes.
