950 Lenox Road is a 2-story, 5-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Cleland Stanton. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating, water, and electrical systems.

Between February 2024 and May 2024, there were numerous complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with several associated violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced persistent water leak problems, with multiple complaints in March 2023, and ongoing electrical system concerns including exposed wiring and outlet issues noted in 2023 and 2024. The building's compliance history shows several open violations as of 2024, including issues with heat supply, water leaks, electrical wiring conditions, and a defective carbon monoxide detecting device.

There have been multiple complaints regarding potential illegal conversions of the property between 2019 and 2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions. Most recently, in March 2025, there were pest infestation complaints filed with HPD. The property has some positive developments, including the issuance of an electrical-related permit in June 2023, but overall, the building has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues affecting basic services and safety systems that have persisted over multiple years and through various complaint filings.
