45 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 46-unit, 7-story residential building at 45 Lenox Road in Flatbush, owned by Meir Roth and completed in 2023, has experienced numerous maintenance issues since occupancy. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding indoor air quality, paint/plaster problems (both wall and ceiling), water leaks, and mold, with several cases classified as emergencies. Earlier issues from 2025 included plumbing and sewage concerns, with multiple inspections determining that not all conditions violated housing laws.

The building's early history shows significant construction-related complaints in late 2022 through early 2023, including safety net concerns, debris issues, and allegations of work beyond approved plans, though most of these complaints resulted in stop work orders being fully rescinded. The property has generated multiple complaints regarding its elevator system, with an active complaint from June 2025 about a single device with no alternate service. There were also several heating/hot water emergencies recorded in late 2024 and early 2025.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2023-2024, with violations issued for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, though these were subsequently dismissed or downgraded. On a positive note, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showed zero infestations, eradications, or re-infestations, indicating effective pest management during that period. The extensive list of complaints and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with the building's systems and maintenance response, though many recent complaints have been promptly addressed through inspections and resolutions.
