17 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, 11-unit building at 17 Lexington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Myron Siegel and built in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with an August 2020 complaint about a single device with no alternate service leading to an ECB violation regarding the lack of mandatory door lock monitoring, resulting in a $6,250 penalty that remains active.

The elevator system's challenges continued with a September 2019 violation for failing to correct defects identified in a 2017 inspection. In terms of energy compliance, the building has multiple active violations related to energy efficiency benchmarking and reporting requirements. These include three violations issued in 2024 (May, August, and December) for failing to file necessary benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores and grades, as required by NYC code.

Additionally, there is an active violation from November 2020 for failing to certify corrections to an immediately hazardous condition. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clear record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases during the most recent filing period from November 2022 to October 2023. The property has multiple open violations related to building energy requirements dating back to 2019, suggesting ongoing challenges with compliance in this area.
