1108 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1108 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Marilyn St John, was constructed in 1930 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest control and regulatory compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there is an open violation related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years (2021-2024), which falls under Class A violations with potential health implications.

The building also faced rodent-related challenges earlier this year, with two rat sighting complaints recorded in February 2024, though these were eventually closed following inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A follow-up inspection in March 2024 resulted in a compliance pass, indicating some improvement in pest management. The property has undergone several inspections related to garbage and recycling storage conditions, with a notable inspection in February 2024 by Housing Preservation and Development that found no violations, despite initial complaints.

A Department of Buildings complaint regarding possible illegal conversion was filed in 2019, but no access was gained during inspections, leading to a closed status for that complaint. While some recent rodent control measures appear to have been successful, the ongoing bedbug report violation represents a persistent regulatory oversight that spans multiple years. The building's documented history suggests a pattern of maintenance challenges that have required repeated governmental oversight and intervention.
