1157 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

1157 Lenox Road is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Nazmun Nahar, located in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2019 and 2025, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

The most recent incident occurred in April 2025, involving the entire building, though reports generally indicate temporary restoration of services before inspections could be conducted. In addition to heating issues, there was a plumbing problem with a sink/basin reported in September 2024 that was apparently resolved.

The building currently has several open violations as of 2024 and 2023, including one in Apartment 2F regarding hot water availability, and multiple violations from 2023 related to safety and communication requirements, such as missing heating system access information, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting procedures. While previous years showed no recorded bedbug infestations (with the most recent period from 2029-2020 showing zero units affected), there have been multiple bedbug reporting violations on record since 2021. The building has a history of heat and hot water system reliability issues, with emergency service requests being the most frequent type of complaint over the past several years, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges in maintaining consistent basic services for tenants.
