16 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

16 Lenox Road is a 4-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1912, currently managed by owner Lior Dishi. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with recent tenant complaints in early 2025 primarily focused on water supply problems, although inspections were either incomplete or indicated these were part of a building-wide issue. The building's maintenance history shows multiple areas of concern between 2021 and 2024, including electrical issues (power outage in October 2024), various plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions involving garbage storage and mold.

Notably, the building has several active violations regarding failure to file required inspections for External Low-Pressure systems between 2018-2023, and an outstanding Class B violation from 2021 involving multiple maintenance issues in Apartment 3, including water leaks, mold, broken plaster, and flooring concerns. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2022 indicating rat presence, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show zero infestation claims. Between 2018-2019, there were several serious construction-related violations, including unauthorized work, inadequate safety measures, and failures to maintain the building's facade, particularly regarding falling stucco at the front parapet.

These violations resulted in significant penalties, though records indicate most were resolved. The building's recent permit activity shows active maintenance and repair work, with the most recent permit issued in November 2023. Annual bedbug reporting from 2021 to 2025 consistently shows no reported infestations or eradication efforts required, though the building's overall maintenance record suggests continued attention is needed in various areas.
