819 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

819 Lexington Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant that was completed in 2019 and is currently owned by Tomasz Najda. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year, most notably in December 2023 when violations were issued for inadequate heating and hot water supply in apartment 3A, along with an issue involving an electric/gas range. Additional violations identified in 2024 include storage issues in the 3rd-story public hall and a defective door to the garbage closet on the 1st story.

The building's construction history shows multiple stop work orders and safety compliance concerns during 2018-2019, though all were subsequently rescinded or dismissed. An environmental violation involving unsupported scaffolding was issued in September 2019 with a $12,500 penalty, which remains listed as balance due. The property has generally maintained good pest control standards, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years (2020-2024) and passing rodent inspections in recent months.

However, there was one recorded instance of rat activity in May 2024. The building has undergone regular inspections and has demonstrated some compliance issues, particularly regarding heating system access and hot water supply, which have been addressed through violation resolutions. While the construction period showed numerous complaints requiring stop work orders, the building has generally maintained proper permit filings, with multiple permits issued throughout 2019 for various construction phases, including new building (NB) and plumbing (PL) permits.
