250 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The seven-story, 24-unit residential building at 250 Lenox Road in East Flatbush, owned by Jose Lugo, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly with essential services. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water interruptions reported between 2021 and 2024, including a significant incident in July 2023 affecting apartment 5D, for which violations were issued related to inadequate hot water supply and electrical service - violations that were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has also faced electrical problems, with power outages reported in July 2023 and July 2024, though inspection access was denied in the latter case. Water-related issues were documented in late 2021, including complaints about heavy flow and damp spots, though no violations were issued following inspections. The construction phase of the building in 2019-2020 was marked by several safety and compliance concerns, with multiple Department of Buildings violations regarding housekeeping, guardrails, rebar safety, and the presence of a competent superintendent during construction.

These violations, which included inadequate housekeeping and missing guardrail systems, were all resolved by early 2020. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases or required eradication efforts from 2020 through 2025. While the building has experienced recurring issues with basic services like heat, hot water, and electricity, it has generally addressed violations when they are cited, though there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
