205 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

205 Lewis Avenue is a three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Yehuda Zargarov. The property has shown consistent attention to bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2025, with all five annual reports (most recently submitted in July 2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

While the building's bedbug management record is exemplary, more recent concerns have emerged regarding rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in May (both initial and compliance inspections) and similar findings in November 2024 and May 2023, though most other inspections during this period have passed. The building's maintenance history indicates some areas requiring attention, including a 2023 Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the filing of an annual bedbug report (though this appears to have been rectified in subsequent filings) and a 2019 Department of Buildings complaint where an inspector was unable to gain access during a final attempt.

Construction-related matters appear to be in order, with a permit for emergency work issued in February 2020. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting and the majority of rodent inspections have passed, though the recurring rat activity noted in 2025 and late 2024 suggests an ongoing pest management challenge that differs from the building's otherwise strong record of pest control.
