1104 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The four-unit, two-story tenement at 1104 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Rawle Small and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable events over the past few years that merit attention. Most concerning was a heat and hot water emergency reported in March 2022, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect the complaint despite its seriousness.

More recently, an April 2024 violation remains open regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which had also been cited as a violation in each of the three previous years (2021, 2022, and 2023) before being closed. The building's bedbug reporting record for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 shows no infested units, with all four units having been successfully treated from any previous infestations.

This pattern suggests effective management of bedbug issues when they occur, though the repeated violations regarding reporting requirements indicate some administrative oversight in this area. The most recent bedbug report, filed in July 2023, documented zero infested units and four eradicated units, showing continued successful management of the pest situation. While the building has shown responsiveness to pest control needs, the repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements and the 2022 heat/hot water access issue suggest some potential concerns with building management responsiveness to regulatory requirements and tenant comfort issues.
