Questions about this building

Does 779 40 Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 779 40 Street, Brooklyn had 9 open violations on October 10, 2026: 9 from HPD. 3 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 8 years, since November 25, 2017.

Is 779 40 Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 3 open Class C, with 6 certifications filed and 3 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 779 40 Street, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations: 4 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Has 779 40 Street, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 8 housing court cases here since 2007. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

When was the boiler at 779 40 Street, Brooklyn last inspected?

On April 29, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 779 40 Street, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 5, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

When was 779 40 Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1914 as the year 779 40 Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 779 40 Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 20 residential units at 779 40 Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
