142 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 8-story, 16-unit residential building at 142 Lenox Road in Flatbush, owned by Big 142 Lenox LLC, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several notable events since its inception. The building encountered an asbestos complaint in early 2019, which was closed after review by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

During construction in late 2019 and throughout 2020-2021, there were multiple safety-related complaints, including issues with fire escapes and worker safety concerns, though inspections generally found no violations warranting further action. Notable construction-related complaints during this period included allegations of unauthorized work, site conditions endangering workers, and concerns about adjacent building protection, with one stop work order being fully rescinded. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), as evidenced by the mandatory bedbug reporting system showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the specified periods.

The property has had several Department of Buildings violations, primarily revolving around failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, though these were ultimately dismissed. Regular inspections in 2020-2021 showed improvements, with most complaints resulting in "No Violation Warranted" conclusions. The most recent complaints and violations are from 2021, with no significant safety or maintenance issues reported in the past two years, suggesting stable building conditions since the initial construction phase challenges were addressed.
