284 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

284 Lexington Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ilsoo Kim and constructed in 1980. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns in early 2022 when water leaks and mold problems were reported (though inspectors could not gain access to verify these conditions), alongside a verified heat and hot water issue that was promptly addressed within two days.

More recently, there have been ongoing concerns with rodent activity, with inspections in early 2025 showing consistent rat presence, while earlier inspections from 2024 and 2023 had passed. The building's permit history shows multiple electrical work permits issued between 2019 and 2021, including five separate permits in 2020 alone, suggesting some significant maintenance or upgrade work during that period.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual inspections from 2021 to 2024 reporting zero infested units, and no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding moisture and temperature control in 2022, it's worth noting that most issues have been addressed promptly when inspected, though access problems have prevented some issues from being properly evaluated. The recent pattern of rat activity as of 2025 represents the most significant ongoing maintenance concern at the property as of the current date.
