9 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

9 Lexington Avenue, a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Clinton Hill owned by Andrew Wrublin and constructed in 2013, has experienced several notable incidents since its completion. The most recent significant event occurred in January 2024, when the building experienced a temporary loss of heat and hot water, though these services were reportedly restored within two days. Between 2020-2024, the building underwent multiple regulatory inspections and faced various compliance challenges, including three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements (2021-2024), and a cluster of violations from September 2020 concerning illegal conversion issues.

These 2020 violations involved unauthorized single room occupancy (SRO) uses, particularly affecting apartment A9 and cellar spaces, along with plumbing infractions regarding improper fixture connections, for which associated Environmental Control Board penalties were imposed totaling $4,875. The building's compliance history shows some concerning patterns, including the 2020 illegal conversion and occupancy issues, which were substantiated through Department of Buildings investigations. However, it's worth noting that power of inspection findings led to the resolution of these violations, though not without penalties.

In terms of pest management, the property has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports annually from 2019 to present, with no infestations or eradications reported in any filing period, suggesting effective pest management practices. The most recent bedbug report from January 2025 shows 0 infested units for the period ending October 2024, continuing a pattern of successful pest control since 2019. The building has had relatively few major service interruptions beyond the 2024 heating issue, and while the 2020 violations represented a significant compliance challenge, these appear to have been addressed through inspections and penalties. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since the originally noted violations, with no indication of ongoing pest issues.
