903 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 903 Lenox Road building, a 4-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1928 with 42 units, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years under the ownership of Jay Gold. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of heating and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints filed in November 2024 and March 2025.

The building underwent significant electrical system problems in April 2025, with multiple emergency complaints regarding lighting issues and wiring concerns, resulting in violations that required correction. Recent health and safety concerns include pest infestations, with the most recent complaints about pests filed in April 2025, though these complaints were found not to violate HPD housing laws. The building has also experienced maintenance challenges related to water damage, with violations recorded in January 2024 regarding a leaking roof in Apartment 2D and water leaks in Apartment A6.

The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple baiting interventions occurring between 2023 and 2024, and the Department of Buildings noted deterioration to drywall/plaster ceiling/walls in the ground floor lobby area in January 2024. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to all recent annual filings from 2021 through 2025, these persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, electrical infrastructure, and pest control, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The building's management has received several violations that required correction, including issues with a defective self-closing door in Apartment A1 and various maintenance deficiencies in Apartment A6, which were all subsequently closed following required repairs.
