235A Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 2-story, 6-unit building at 235A Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moses Rabinovits, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in July 2024. During this period, multiple emergency complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code, including issues with doors, floors, lighting, plumbing (specifically sink problems), and mold.

All these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations issued. Earlier complaints from December 2023 to April 2024 had also been addressed, including issues with doors, pests, and a concerning heat/hot water access problem, though no violations were found in those cases as well.

In addition to these maintenance issues, there was a Department of Buildings complaint in October 2024 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was inspected and fully rescinded in April 2025. The building's pest status shows no current bedbug infestations or previous eradication efforts in the most recent reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024, suggesting this particular issue has not been a recurring problem. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, it's noteworthy that the majority of recent complaints have been promptly addressed and closed without violations, though many of these issues have reappeared in different forms over time.
