Does 222 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings.

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 21, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 222 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 5 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Structural work, was issued September 1, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

When did 222 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On July 22, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2024. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

When was 222 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn built?

How many apartments does 222 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 4 residential units at 222 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
