825 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

825 Lenox Road is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Raphael Caton. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with notable patterns including heat and hot water problems (as recently as October 2024), multiple mold-related complaints (2021-2024), and water leakage issues. The most recent inspection on October 28, 2024, revealed several active violations in Apartment 3, including an open violation for a roach infestation and issues with window counterbalances and defective faucets.

The building has also had infrastructure concerns, with historical complaints about ceiling paint, cabinet conditions, and security features including entrance door repairs. The property's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with basic services, particularly heating systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD emergency complaints across 2022-2024. Recent violations from July 2024 indicate problems with self-closing doors at the building entrance and vestibule.

Notably, there is an open Annual Bedbug Report filing violation from April 2024 that remains unresolved. While the building has passed rodent inspections as of 2010, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing concerns about general maintenance and habitability. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has conducted numerous inspections in response to complaints, though violations were often not issued, particularly for mold and water-related issues.
