1230 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The four-unit, four-story tenement building at 1230 42nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Elimelech Aber, has maintained a consistent record of regulatory violations over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021.

The building has also accumulated multiple open violations since 2019 related to safety notice requirements, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and to maintain proper tenant information notices regarding housing guides and building registration details. These safety-related violations suggest potential concerns about emergency preparedness communication within the building. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints regarding the property, including two (in 2024 and 2021) concerning illegal curb cut or driveway modifications, though these were ultimately deemed unsubstantiated or not warranting violations at the time of inspection.

A work without permit complaint in May 2023 was recorded but resulted in access denial during inspection. The building's last rodent inspection in August 2016 passed, indicating no issues with pest infestations at that time. While the building's age (constructed in 1930) is typical for the neighborhood, the persistent pattern of open violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and safety notice compliance, warrants attention to the building's maintenance and regulatory compliance history.
