1157 East 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210
The 3-story, 5-unit building at 1157 East 39th Street in Flatlands, owned by Jean Lafontant, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple violations related to door safety systems, including defective or missing self-closing doors in the building's public hall, cellar entrance, and apartment entrances - all of which were classified as Class C violations. The building also faced serious safety concerns in 2022 regarding its fire safety equipment, with violations for missing sprinkler heads, required tools, and improper use of a cellar bathroom that had been converted into living space with plumbing fixtures.
These fire safety violations included an active Environmental Control Board violation with a monetary penalty of $1,250. The building's recent inspection history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods from 2021 through 2024, though an unresolved violation from March 2023 remained open regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. The most recent violations as of 2023-2024 involve issues with door systems and safety compliance, including a September 2023 violation regarding the improper placement of inspection certificates in public hall areas.
A complaint investigation in 2022 regarding illegal cellar apartment conversion was conducted, but no violations were found at that time. The building's history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, with violations generally being addressed and closed, though some require ongoing attention such as the bedbug reporting compliance. The property's 311 service record includes a single heat/hot water complaint in early 2020, which was investigated but found not to warrant any violations.
