199 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

199 Lewis Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Holly Bennett. The historic structure, built in 1899, has demonstrated consistent attention to pest management through regular bedbug reporting, though with some notable compliance issues. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report.

This follows a pattern of similar violations from 2021 to 2023, though those earlier violations were eventually closed. According to the bedbug reporting conducted for the period between November 2021 and October 2022, there were no reported infestations or eradication efforts during that time. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections over the past several years, with generally positive results.

Most recently, in July 2025, the building passed a compliance inspection, though it had failed an initial inspection in May 2025 for unspecified reasons. Prior to this, the building consistently passed rodent inspections between 2020 and 2024, demonstrating effective pest control practices in this area. The property's inspection history suggests ongoing attention to maintenance requirements, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations indicate challenges with administrative compliance rather than active pest control issues.
