1037 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family home at 1037 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Venneth Haughton, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly during late 2022. The most notable concerns emerged in October 2022, when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 2FL, including issues with a water leak, ceiling problems, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and various appliance concerns. These violations were categorized as Class B or C, indicating varying levels of severity.

The building has experienced repeated problems with its fixtures and systems, including at least three separate documented issues with electric/gas ranges and multiple pest control challenges, with a particularly concerning instance of mold reported in August 2021. While the property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years, a Notice of Violation was issued in 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report. The building's code violation record reveals several persistent safety concerns that remain unresolved as of the latest inspection dates.

These include problems with missing or defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing doors in Apartment 2FL, as well as ongoing water leak issues affecting multiple walls and the ceiling. The property has also faced infrastructure challenges, with complaints about defects in the roof and plaster surfaces. Historical records from 2021 show mentions of boiler and drainage issues, though these complaints were ultimately unsubstantiated or resolved. Recent bedbug filings from 2022-2025 indicate no current infestations, but the property has had intermittent issues requiring attention, with violations noted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in recent years.
