Question:
He says: It is mentioned regarding some scholars that if a grave reaches the age of forty years, it is permissible to build dwellings on it. Is that correct?

No, that is not correct. Some of them said one hundred years; if one hundred years have passed, it is permissible to build on it. But this is an incorrect opinion. Graves are left as graves for their owners and are never encroached upon. Yes.
