20 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-unit residential building at 20 Lexington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by the Libya Clancy Trust, has experienced a series of maintenance issues over the past year that warrant attention. Between December 2023 and early 2024, the building faced significant challenges with basic services, including power outages and a potentially serious heat and hot water system failure, though inspectors were unable to access the premises to verify the latter.

This pattern of utility-related concerns continued into early 2024, with complaints about inadequate lighting and electrical problems. Multiple maintenance issues were documented in January and February 2024, including problems with doors and windows (frames and functionality), ceiling paint/plaster conditions, and unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold.

While all these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were issued, the frequency and nature of these issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The complaints range from emergency situations (such as mold and lighting problems) to non-emergency issues, but all were formally closed by February 2024, with some cases like the mold problem receiving particular attention due to their potential health implications.
