599 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 599 Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Max Kernizan and constructed in 1899, has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with ten consecutive successful evaluations from May 2021 through May 2025.
However, the property has recurring compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations documented in each of the last four years (2021-2024), all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.
These violations, while classified as "Class A" in the housing code, which generally indicates less serious conditions than "Class C" or "Class B" violations, are significant due to the potential impact on resident comfort and the building's compliance standing. The most recent bedbug reporting violation was recorded in April 2024, following similar violations in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, though the building has successfully completed all required rodent inspections during this same period.
