669 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 10-unit, 5-story condominium building at 669 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Lexe Condominium Corp., has experienced several noteworthy incidents since its construction in 2021. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a complaint regarding falling debris that resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The building has had multiple complaints about after-hours work, with the most recent occurring in April 2024, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.

Significant safety concerns were noted in late 2021, including issues with construction safety compliance and unauthorized construction beyond approved plans, though these stop work orders were fully rescinded. There were also multiple instances of failure to certify correction on immediately hazardous violations, with the most recent being issued in October 2024, representing an active violation. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with annual bedbug reports for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 showing no infested units, no eradications, and no re-infestations.

The property has experienced some regulatory challenges, including a fine for failure to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report in late 2019, though this violation was ultimately dismissed in August 2023. Between 2021 and 2024, the building has had several sustainability enforcement work orders and various construction-related complaints, though most were resolved without finding violations, including training compliance and construction safety inspections. While there have been ongoing compliance issues requiring additional attention, particularly regarding hazardous violations, the building's relatively new status (built in 2021) and lack of persistent pest issues suggest it is being maintained within typical urban residential standards.
