95 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 17-unit, 4-story building at 95 Lenox Road in Flatbush, owned by Ruben Osborne and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heating system problems in recent years, with several HPD complaints about heat and hot water issues occurring between late 2024 and early 2025. In addition to these heating issues, the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a pattern of complaints about unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage as recently as April 2025, though inspections often found no violations. The property has documented several violations in 2023, particularly affecting apartment 1B, which experienced issues with pests (roaches and mice), a broken saddle, and problems with plaster, paint, and plumbing.

The building's management has been active in addressing these violations, with most being certified as corrected by mid-2023. The building's maintenance history shows periodic concerns with building systems and infrastructure, including issues with doors, windows, and sanitation, though most recent HPD inspections typically find no housing law violations. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting showing zero infested units since 2019.

A DOB violation regarding a delayed low pressure inspection was dismissed in early 2024. The property's maintenance history includes multiple complaints from 2023 about various issues including plumbing, mold, and paint/plaster concerns, with most being addressed following HPD inspections. While the building has experienced recurring heating system issues and various maintenance challenges, inspections often find no violations of housing laws, indicating that while there are regular maintenance concerns, they do not always constitute housing code violations.
