11 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The four-story, 13-unit residential building at 11 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Paul Matalon and constructed in 2022, has experienced recurring pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity. Most notably, there is currently an open HPD complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests as of May 2025, following a pattern of complaints including mold issues and flooring concerns in July 2024.
While the building successfully reported zero bedbug infestations for the 2022-2023 period, multiple rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, including six consecutive inspections in 2024 and 2025, have consistently indicated rat activity, though the building passed inspections in April 2023 and October 2022. During the construction phase in 2022, several environmental control board violations were recorded against Betterbuilt Builders Inc, including issues with scaffolding safety, masonry wall construction bracing, and grout operations inspections, with one violation carrying a $625 penalty.
The building has maintained a generally good record with HPD inspections, with no major violations noted in response to the 2024 complaints about mold, pests, and flooring issues, though an annual bedbug report filing violation was recorded in April 2024. A sidewalk shed complaint in 2023 was found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The property has demonstrated efforts to address safety concerns during construction, with penalties imposed for certain violations, though many were resolved without penalties or with $0 fines.
