583 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
583 Lexington Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Ziv Bukobza. The 126-year-old property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat activity inspections conducted throughout 2024-2025, including recent inspections in May 2025 showing rat activity. The building has also faced recurring heating and hot water problems, as evidenced by a January 2025 HPD complaint that was unable to gain access for inspection.
A significant cluster of maintenance issues emerged in August 2022, including complaints about unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), problems with doors and windows, flooring issues, electric power outages, and general maintenance concerns, all of which were investigated without resulting violations. The building is currently facing multiple open violations related to illegal conversions, including an August 2022 notice citing improper use of plumbing fixtures and unauthorized cooking facilities on the first and third stories, as well as an August 2022 violation for rodent infestation in the front yard. Prior complaints about illegal hotel rooms were investigated in 2019, and there have been consistent issues with unauthorized dwelling unit conversions.
More recently, in 2022-2023, the property has accumulated Environmental Control Board violations with substantial financial penalties related to unauthorized dwelling modifications, though these appear to not have been resolved as of the latest data. The building's pest management history shows some attention to the rodent problem in 2024-2025, with bait application efforts recorded, but inspections frequently confirm continued rat activity. The property has no recorded bedbug infestations since 2022, and while multiple 311 complaints have been filed, many were unable to be substantiated during inspections. The building's complex history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, particularly regarding unauthorized unit modifications and pest management, though many previous issues from 2022 appear to have been closed through inspections despite initial complaints.
