92 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 8-unit building at 92 Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Scott Kupferman, is a 4-story "New Law Tenement" constructed in 1930 that has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2019, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments for verification.

The property has documented ongoing infrastructure challenges, including multiple violations identified during a July 2019 inspection, particularly in apartments 1L and 1R, relating to window repairs, self-closing doors, fire egress, and electrical service. The building has also faced water-related issues, with complaints in August 2018 regarding heavy water flow and mold, as well as flooring problems that resulted in multiple housing violations. More recent maintenance history shows continued attention to pest control, with consistent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicating no infestations, though there have been multiple rodent activity reports throughout 2024 requiring bait application.

The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showed compliance. The building underwent several permitted renovations between 2018-2019, with work including electrical and plumbing upgrades. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, the absence of bedbug infestations since 2021 and recent rodent control compliance indicates some improvement in building upkeep, though the pattern of heating system complaints and water-related issues in 2018-2019 raises concerns about the building's infrastructure reliability.
