1 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

1 Lexington Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, owned by Andrew Wrublin and completed in 2013. The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning patterns regarding heating systems, with a noteworthy incident occurring between December 25, 2022, and January 1, 2023, when both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Housing Maintenance Code received emergency complaints about a lack of heat or hot water throughout the entire building.

Unfortunately, inspectors were unable to gain access to any units during this period. More recently, in April 2024, a Housing Maintenance Code violation was issued regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was subsequently closed. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2025 show consistently clean reports, with no documented infestations or eradications in any of the three units during this entire period.

The most recent bedbug report, filed on January 22, 2025, for the period from November 2023 to October 2024, indicated zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. This pattern of regular reporting and consistent negative results suggests proactive pest management, despite the earlier violation relating to the bedbug report filing requirement. While the heating system issues in late 2022/early 2023 were clearly problematic, there have been no documented heating complaints in the two years since that incident, though it's worth noting that access issues hampered inspections during that complaint period.
