297 Lenox Road, Brooklyn

Pre-war Flatbush rental with active internal maintenance reports and neighborhood air-quality flags.

A 66-unit pre-war building managed by Jonas Equities. While official code violations are resolved quickly, internal maintenance reports and surrounding air and sidewalk complaints show real operational friction. Three things to know:

Maintenance complaints center heavily on unsanitary conditions and water leaks. 20 unsanitary condition reports were filed over the last two years, leading all internal categories. A May 2026 filing flagged active mold in an apartment alongside a slow water leak.

Air quality and vapor issues show up on the surrounding block. 16 indoor air quality reports have been logged in the three blocks around the building over the past year, running through July 2026. Odors and vapors drifting through risers or light wells are impossible to spot during a quick walk-through.

Sidewalk blockages outside the entrance are a repeated headache. 19 calls specifically cite vehicles blocking the sidewalk directly at this address. Four separate complaints came in during March and April 2026 alone, pointing to cars parked across pedestrian paths right outside the door.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 209 trash condition reports within three blocks over the last year, mostly street litter
• 140 illegal parking complaints in the surrounding three blocks, dominated by posted sign violations and blocked sidewalks
• 197 residential noise complaints in the three-block radius over the last 12 months
• The surrounding blocks carry typical Flatbush street noise and sanitation texture, but internal leaks are the main issue inside the building.
