804 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

804 Lexington Avenue is a two-family home located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Marthaann Winbush. The building experienced multiple compliance issues in the early 2000s, most notably in 2001 when several violations were documented in Apartment 3 (2nd story), including problems with vermin (both mice and roaches), a leaky bathroom faucet, missing vinyl floor tiles in the hallway, and inadequate hot water at fixtures.

Security and access issues were also prevalent during this period, with violations related to the building's entrance door and vestibule door locks, and the need for a peephole in the first-story entrance door. An illegal double cylinder key-operated lock at the wrought iron gate entrance was also identified as problematic in 2004. However, since 2018 there has been a marked improvement in the building's maintenance record.

All previously noted violations were certified as closed on December 20, 2018, and the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2015, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 also yielding passing results. A permit was issued in December 2018 (job number 340651574) for work described with permit type PL, though specific details about the work performed are not provided in the available data. The significant reduction in violations and consistent rodent inspection passes over the past several years suggest improved building maintenance and compliance, though it's worth noting that the majority of documented issues occurred over two decades ago.
