39 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 39 Lexington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Tomer Erlich, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2011. The property has documented multiple plumbing problems, including bathtub/shower issues and water leaks, with the most significant incidents occurring in September 2021 (heavy flow) and November 2021 (slow leak).

The building has also faced flooring and stair concerns, particularly in September 2022 when multiple complaints were filed with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. There were two instances of mold-related complaints in September 2021 and September 2022 that went unverified due to access issues.

The building's regulatory compliance record shows several open violations from a 2020 inspection that require attention, including requirements to post notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the availability of housing information guides. An April 2021 inspection indicated a violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though subsequent inspections have consistently shown zero infested units, with the most recent bedbug report filings (December 2024) indicating no infestation or re-infestation cases during the reporting period. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, the absence of verified bedbug problems in recent years and the closure of most historical complaints suggest some level of improvement in building conditions, though the persistence of certain open violations from 2020 warrants attention.
