Augrented Insights Report for 261 Lenox Road

The six-story, 120-unit apartment building at 261 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Yida Stern and constructed in 1956, has experienced recurring water-related issues in recent months. Between May and July 2025, there were multiple reports of water leaks (heavy flow and slow leaks), water supply problems, and an open mold complaint.

The building has undergone several inspections that were hindered by access issues. Additional maintenance concerns have emerged during this period, including unsanitary conditions, indoor air quality problems, and various plumbing issues, though inspections in May 2025 found no violations related to pests, flooring, or certain other complaints. The property has a documented history of elevator safety concerns, with multiple complaints regarding elevator systems from 2020 through 2024, though inspections typically found no violations.

Apartment 4A was cited in December 2024 for multiple issues including the need for painting, window repairs, and safety device replacements (carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector), while Apartment 4I had a water leak issue documented in the same inspection period. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2017, and recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate no infestations. While some violations have been resolved and closed, including those related to safety devices and water damage, there remains an active mold complaint and water supply issue as of mid-2025.
