822 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The property at 822 Lenox Road in East Flatbush is a 2-family, 2-story building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 1251 Pacific LLC and containing 3 units. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several months, with multiple complaints filed in both late 2024 and early 2025, though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

More concerning is the presence of water-related problems, particularly affecting the ground floor unit, which has an open violation related to mold over 10 square feet at the ceiling, heavy water leaks, and multiple plumbing issues including problems with the bathtub/shower. The building has also faced various maintenance issues documented through housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting the 1st floor apartment, including problems with window sashes, door hardware, ceiling/wall surfaces, and excessively hot water temperatures.

The 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints from early 2025 indicate multiple ongoing maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues, water flow problems, and unsanitary conditions. While the building's bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024 show no documented infestations, the recent pattern of complaints suggests persistent maintenance challenges that have not been fully resolved. It's worth noting that many HPD inspections in response to complaints have been unable to gain access to units for verification, and while some complaints have been closed without violations, the building appears to be facing ongoing issues, particularly related to water and heating systems.
