1440 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story residential building at 1440 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Chaim Greenfeld, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with the most significant being recent safety violations. Most concerning is an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2024, resulting in a $2,500 penalty for construction work conducted without proper permits, including the erection of two steel decks and a steel staircase with landing, which were observed to be installed without authorization.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, with four consecutive years receiving violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent report filed in April 2025 indicates no current infestation issues, with zero units reported as infested or requiring eradication. The building's only noted safety-related violation occurred in 2018, when it was cited for failing to properly post gas leak emergency procedures in common areas, though this violation has since been resolved.

While the property has experienced recurring regulatory compliance issues, particularly related to bedbug reporting, the most recent available data suggests improved conditions, with the 2025 bedbug report showing no active infestation problems. The recent unpermitted construction violation represents the most pressing current concern for the building as of the latest available data.
