583 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 583 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Menachem Engel and constructed in 1950, has faced several notable regulatory challenges over the past several years, with the most significant being recurring issues related to bedbug reporting compliance. Since 2021, the New York City Housing Maintenance Code has cited the property for failing to properly file its annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024.

This pattern of non-compliance suggests ongoing difficulties in adhering to important public health regulations, though it is worth noting that these violations relate to reporting requirements rather than direct pest infestations. The building's documentation also includes a resolved safety issue from 2018, where the property was cited for failing to arrange and secure self-closing doors at the street entrance and public hall on the first story, a violation designated as Class B in the New York City Administrative Code.

While this violation has been closed, it reflects a period when the building had to address basic security and safety requirements. Given the persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years, the property has demonstrated ongoing challenges with compliance to basic regulatory requirements, particularly regarding pest management protocols.
