76 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

76 Lexington Avenue, a 4-story, 21-unit residential building constructed in 2009 in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Nathan Schwarcz, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a persistent rodent problem, with multiple rat sightings and signs of rodent activity documented between 2023 and 2025, including failed inspections in April and May 2025. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2024, when multiple violations were recorded for Apartment 405, including issues with leaking roofs, defective floors, and plastered surfaces requiring repair.

The building's fire safety systems have been a focus of attention, with multiple violations noted in August 2024 concerning defective self-closing doors at various locations in the public halls. The property experienced heating issues in December 2020, with two separate complaints about lack of heat and hot water, though records indicate these were resolved. More recently, the building has faced flooring problems, with complaints logged in September 2023.

An active violation remains on record from April 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores as required by code. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past five years. While some violations have been addressed and closed, the ongoing rodent issues and periodic maintenance concerns suggest that residents continue to face some quality-of-life challenges in this relatively new construction.
