1167 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 1167 Lenox Road in Brownsville, owned by Farid Abdelrahim, has experienced a series of concerning issues throughout 2024, particularly during the winter months. The building, constructed in 1930, has been documented with multiple maintenance complaints, with the most significant concerns centered around heating systems and electrical infrastructure. In January 2024, there were violations issued regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, as well as electrical lighting issues.

Additional incidents of heat and hot water complaints were recorded for both the entire building and individual apartments, though inspection access was denied in some cases. The property has also faced challenges with sanitation and pest control, including multiple mold-related complaints (both emergency and non-emergency), pest infestations, and issues with garbage/recycling storage, some of which resulted in violations being issued. The building's infrastructure has shown persistent problems, with multiple water leak reports (including slow leaks), electrical issues including wiring concerns and outlet problems, and door/window maintenance needs.

There were also two complaints in late January 2024 regarding building shaking or vibration, with one resulting in an Oath violation being served. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted inspections in response to many of these complaints, not all cases resulted in violations being issued, and there were instances where inspectors could not gain access to conduct proper evaluations. The resolved status of these complaints suggests that inspections were conducted, though for detailed violation information, HPD's online system would provide the most current records.
