1129 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement at 1129 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Morris Dale, was built in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water service disruptions, with multiple complaints filed between 2020 and 2021 affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, though many of these complaints were closed after tenants reported that services were restored.

The building is currently facing multiple open violations from 2023 related to safety concerns, including issues with the second-story roof scuttle opening - specifically regarding fire egress, fire retardant materials, and painting requirements - as well as three open violations regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. In 2021, multiple safety-related violations were documented, including the need to properly post and maintain notices regarding gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and the availability of the agency's housing information guide.

The building has also experienced electrical issues, including a no-lighting complaint in 2021, and there was one door/window-related complaint in 2021 that resulted in no violations being issued. A rodent inspection in 2017 showed a failed result during the initial inspection, though it passed during a subsequent compliance inspection. While some maintenance issues have been addressed over time, the current open violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges.
