32 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226
32 Lenox Road is a 6-story, 59-unit residential building located in Flatbush, Brooklyn, built in 1929 and currently owned by Martha Kane. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns emerging in June 2025 related to electrical problems, specifically no lighting and wiring issues, which were classified as emergencies but could not be fully inspected by HPD. In December 2024, multiple violations were issued following inspections, including issues with window frames, electrical outlets/switches, and ceilings, all of which had certified correction dates in early 2025.
The building has faced persistent heat and hot water problems, with complaints documented in early 2024 for both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections were unable to gain access to all affected units. The property has dealt with various other maintenance challenges, including a water supply issue documented in November 2023. A significant inspection in December 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment D9, including concerns about mold, lead paint, window-related issues, and the need for various repairs including work on radiator valves, door closing mechanisms, and paint conditions.
While there have been documented instances of bedbug infestations in recent years (with one case in 2022-2023 and another in 2023-2024), the most recent report shows no current infestations. The building's history includes several Department of Buildings inspections and permit issuances between 2018 and 2021, with one construction-related stop work order fully rescinded in 2020. While the building has passed rodent inspections (as of December 2018) and has shown some efforts for maintenance through permit issuances for various upgrades, the frequency and nature of complaints, particularly regarding electrical systems and building utilities, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also shown some pattern of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections during complaint investigations, particularly regarding heat/hot water and plumbing issues.
