215 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
215 Lewis Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and constructed in 1899, currently owned by Michael Sbeglia. The building has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, particularly in 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized construction work, including work without proper permits and potentially concerning alterations to the rear yard area.
An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in October 2023 regarding work performed without a permit, specifically noting changes to the rear yard grade and unauthorized excavation work. The building's maintenance history shows compliance issues related to bedbug reporting requirements in both 2022 and most recently in March 2023, though subsequent filings through 2024 indicate no infested or re-infested units, suggesting successful management of this issue.
The property has maintained a clean record with regards to rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted in 2015, 2022, and most recently in 2024 and 2025, which indicates effective pest management practices are in place. While the building's recent history shows some regulatory compliance issues, particularly in 2023 regarding construction work, there are indications of improved management practices regarding pest control and bedbug reporting requirements in subsequent years.
