90 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 90 Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lexington Avenue LP, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water throughout the building, with emergency complaints filed in January 2025.

The building has a documented pattern of maintenance challenges between 2023-2025, including multiple instances where Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspections, particularly concerning plumbing, flooring, and appliance issues. Apartment 2A has been the focus of particular concern, with multiple open violations as of 2023-2024 related to pests (mice and roaches), plumbing problems including sink issues and water supply concerns, and various maintenance needs such as broken cabinets and floor tiles. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2019-2025, the property has shown some rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 noting rat activity, though more recent inspections as of April 2025 have passed.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly affecting unit 2A, which has multiple open violations related to plumbing, pest control, and maintenance issues. The property has undergone several HPD inspections and received multiple emergency complaints, indicating persistent problems with basic services like heat and hot water. While there have been improvements in some areas, as evidenced by more recent passed inspections, the building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges that have required repeated attention from HPD over several years.
