Questions about this building

Does 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn had 51 open violations on September 26, 2026: 49 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 86 certifications filed against 5 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 92 Class C violations, all 92 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since June 23, 2025. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Does 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on December 3, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 2 active DOB violations. The newest was issued October 4, 2023. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has DOB received complaints about 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed March 12, 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.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 71 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

Is 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1937 as the year 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 55 Lenox Road, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 60 residential units at 55 Lenox Road, 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 HPD vacate orders, OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 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 HPD vacate orders, OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. 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.
