179 Lexington Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11216. The closest subway is Bedford-Nostrand Avs (G) (4-minute walk), served by the C, G, and S lines.
Building Condition
No HPD lead-paint violations are on record for this building. That means no complaint or inspection was filed — not that the building is lead-free.
Built 1930. City property records (PLUTO) list no residential units at this address. NYC Local Law 1 addresses lead paint in multiple dwellings, so its presumption does not apply here. Any violations below are records against the property, not findings about an apartment.
