280 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, two-family house at 280 Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ilsoo Kim, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's recurring rodent problem, with multiple inspections in 2025 and 2024 consistently showing rat activity, including recent inspections in March, April, and May 2025.
While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted a rodent-related inspection in 2024 that did not result in violations, the persistent nature of these infestations is troubling. The property has also faced significant plumbing challenges, evidenced by an emergency water supply complaint in late 2022 that required HPD intervention, though records show the issue was ultimately resolved.
Between 2019 and 2021, multiple construction permits for exterior work (EW) were issued, suggesting regular maintenance activities were taking place. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2020 showing zero infested units or eradication cases. While the property has passed several health and building inspections, the ongoing rodent situation remains the most pressing concern for resident comfort and safety.
