319 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 28-unit, 7-story building at 319 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Charles Schwartz, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several notable incidents since occupancy. Most recently, in early 2025, there was a plumbing issue with the bathtub/shower facilities that required HPD intervention, though they were unable to complete their inspection. In 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding smoking and vaping in prohibited areas, with inspections conducted by the NYC Health Department.

The building's initial construction phase in 2021-2022 saw significant Department of Buildings (DOB) activity, including multiple safety-related violations issued to contractor Sunshine Construction USA Inc. These violations, which were eventually resolved, involved serious concerns such as failure to maintain safety measures, inadequate scaffolding, and worker safety violations, with penalties totaling $7,437. The building's construction period also featured several 311 complaints about work being performed without proper permits, though inspections typically encountered access issues. Since the building's completion, there have been relatively few complaints, with the most significant being a 2024 indoor air quality issue that required a notice to the property management.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with three consecutive annual reports (2023-2025) showing zero infested units or eradication cases. The property management has also demonstrated compliance with filing requirements, with all three bedbug reports from 2023-2025 showing no infestations. While there have been periodic complaints about various issues, many have been classified as no violation warranted or were resolved promptly upon inspection. The most recent building permits and filings (2022-2023) indicate regular maintenance of required documentation and reporting, including the annual bedbug report filing.
