86 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
86 Lexington Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Blas Brown. The building has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to sanitation and maintenance. In 2025 alone, there were two significant complaints regarding mold and wall conditions in May, with similar mold-related issues noted in July 2024.
A notable incident occurred in September 2024 when both heat and hot water systems failed throughout the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored shortly after the complaints. The property also has a documented history of pest issues, with multiple complaints regarding both pests and mold in July 2024, as well as heating system problems in 2024-2025. The building's maintenance history shows some structural and safety concerns, including a 2019 violation regarding missing or defective window guards in Apartment 4B, and various plaster and water leak issues in both Apartments 3B and 4B during inspections.
Despite these problems, the building's recent rodent inspections indicate passing results in 2025 and 2024, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2023-2024. Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations, as evidenced by four consecutive annual reports from 2021-2024 showing no infested units. While the building has experienced numerous maintenance issues requiring attention, the violations and complaints have generally been addressed and closed, though some recent complaints regarding wall plaster and mold in 2025 only resulted in inspections with no violations found. The property also had one confirmed violation in 2024 regarding refuse accumulation in the front yard, which was subsequently certified as corrected.
