# 40 Downing Street, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11238 BBL 3019820046 · Block 1982 · Lot 46 · BIN 3056841 Canonical page: https://nycpropertyfacts.com/ny/brooklyn/40-downing-street-3019820046 Last updated: 2026-11-01 · Open-item counts as of 2026-11-09 ## Summary 40 Downing Street (Brooklyn, NY 11238; tax lot BBL 3019820046) is a two-family home (building class B1: two-family home, brick), built around 1877, on a 1,810 sq ft lot zoned R6B. City tax records list the owner as REED, GERALDINE; per ACRIS, a deed to this owner dated November 21, 2018 lists a price of $1. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $3,793,000. As of November 9, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show one OATH ticket with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items.
