Augrented Insights Report for 297 Lenox Road

The six-story, 66-unit residential building at 297 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Moshe Rhine, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues between 2021 and 2025, with the most significant recent concerns centering around unsanitary conditions. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints regarding pests, garbage/recycling storage issues, and mold, with several HPD inspections being unable to proceed due to access issues. The building currently has multiple open violations from a November 2024 inspection of Apartment 1E, including lead paint hazards and defective plastered surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom.

Significant structural concerns were documented in 2018 following an incident involving foundation damage, with repairs performed under various permits between 2019 and 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with various systems and conditions, including heat/hot water issues (noted in November 2024), elevator service interruptions, and multiple pest infestations. The property has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with three units affected in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024).

Construction-related complaints have been documented, including issues with scaffolding and site conditions, particularly during 2021. While some violations have been resolved over time, including previous structural issues and electrical work permits, there remain active concerns requiring attention. The property has generally passed rodent inspections since 2016, though there were documented rat activity issues in 2012. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and resident comfort, with multiple instances of HPD inspections being unable to proceed due to access issues, limiting resolution of reported problems.
