1119 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1119 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Yitzchak Wolf and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in mid-2025, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks, including cases of heavy flow, as well as issues with windows, doors, and ceiling/paint problems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building has undergone various maintenance challenges since 2024, with documented problems including flooring defects, unsanitary conditions with pests, and issues with cabinets, walls, and ceilings, all of which were addressed through Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building's history shows recurring concerns with water-related problems, structural maintenance, and pest control. Earlier violations from 2024 included a concerning infestation of mice in Apartment 1A, as well as multiple safety-related issues such as an obstructed exit passageway, which resulted in Environmental Control Board violations and fines.

The building's safety features were scrutinized in 2019-2020, particularly regarding fire safety and exit access, though these violations were eventually resolved. While recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations, and rodent inspections show some compliance efforts, the cumulative record suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in terms of water management, structural integrity, and building systems. The most recent 311 service requests from May 2025 concerning intercom issues and multiple other complaints suggest these problems may still persist, though HPD inspections in most cases did not result in violations being issued.
