181 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226
181 Lenox Road is a 6-story, 66-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Michael Cantor. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particularly notable problems emerging in 2024-2025.
Recent complaints include unsanitary conditions related to mold (June 2025), water leaks (June 2025), and plumbing issues, all of which were investigated by HPD but did not result in any housing law violations. The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these issues during several responses. Apartment D6 has been the focus of numerous maintenance concerns, including a 2024 inspection that revealed multiple violations including pest infestations (both mice and roaches), water leaks, and various repair needs affecting cabinets, plaster surfaces, and appliances.
The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including a Certificate of Occupancy investigation (2024-2025) and a complaint about work without a permit (2024), though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues. Notable historical issues include electrical work done without proper permits in 2018 that resulted in a stop work order, and a 2022 violation regarding the failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports which incurred a $1,250 penalty. Despite these various maintenance and compliance challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations from 2018 through 2024, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reporting submissions showing no infested or re-infested units.
