286 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
286 Lexington Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Alex Arker and constructed in 1980. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple "Rat Activity" findings in recent inspections including April 2025, March 2025, and multiple instances throughout 2024, despite passing inspections in 2023 and 2022.
The building has documented heat and hot water issues in late 2022, with two emergency complaints filed and verified by HPD, though conditions were subsequently reported as corrected. Interestingly, the building has maintained an active record of pest control compliance, with no bedbug infestations reported in annual filings from 2021 to present, showing zero infested units and successful eradication in previous years.
The property has undergone several permitted work projects, with records showing multiple emergency work permits issued between 2019 and 2021, including the most recent in October 2021. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly with rodent presence, the comprehensive record-keeping through official inspections and timely responses to complaints suggests that the property is monitored under city regulations. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance activity, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
