308 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, 32-unit building at 308 Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Robert Corso and constructed in 1970, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2022 when multiple heat and hot water outages affected the entire building between January and February. The building also faced plumbing problems, including toilet issues and sewage concerns in February 2022. In July 2022, a violation was issued regarding a door device preventing self-closing at the front entrance, and additional violations were recorded in February 2022 related to apartment 3D, including missing smoke detectors, a mold condition in the bathroom, and a rodent infestation.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent heat and hot water system problems during early 2022, with multiple tenants filing complaints about these issues in January and February of that year. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status according to reports from 2021 through 2024, with zero infested units recorded in the past three years. Previous concerns about the building included several Department of Buildings violations in 2020 related to unsafe storage of combustible materials, excessive construction debris, and failure to provide proper construction documents, though these were ultimately resolved with no penalties.

Historical rodent inspections from 2014 to 2016 indicated rat activity at the property, but more recent inspections have not shown this issue. The building has had multiple work permits issued between 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the management. The most recent bedbug reports from 2025-2026 continue to show no infestation issues, indicating effective pest management practices in recent years.
