829 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

829 Lenox Road is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Hertzl Benjamin. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent incident occurring in November 2024 involving a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building.

This is consistent with earlier problems noted in 2022-2024, including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, particularly focused on apartment 5 which was documented to have issues with mice, roaches, lead paint hazards, and various maintenance violations during 2022-2023. The building's heating system has also been a persistent concern, with a Department of Buildings complaint in July 2022 regarding a defective/inoperative boiler leading to an Oath violation. While the building has undergone inspections and some violations have been closed, there appears to be a pattern of access issues for inspectors, particularly in 2023, which resulted in complaints being closed without full resolution.

The property has maintained a consistently "0" status for bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, suggesting effective management of this specific pest issue. In terms of building infrastructure and safety, several Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2022, including problems with plastered surfaces, window frames, and radiator conditions in apartment 5, along with lead paint concerns that required attention. While some maintenance issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of heating and pest complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and response times.
