213 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

213 Lewis Avenue is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899, located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood and currently owned by Liesha Markiand. The building has a consistent history of compliance with rodent control measures, having passed all rodent inspections from 2016 to 2025, with initial inspections in 2024 and 2025 being successful, though there was one failed inspection in 2016 for "Other Reasons." In 2015, the property underwent multiple baiting treatments in August, indicating a concerted effort to address a rodent issue at that time.

Of particular note, the building has recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 related to the annual bedbug report filing. However, the building's recent bedbug reports from 2021-2022 and 2019-2020 indicate no infested dwelling units were present during those periods, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation.

The Department of Buildings records show three permits issued in early 2020 (January, February, and April), related to exterior work and plumbing, though specific details of the work performed under these permits are not provided in the available data. The maintenance history suggests active management of pest control issues, particularly regarding rodents, while the bedbug reporting compliance appears to be a recurring administrative matter rather than an indication of active infestation. The most recent rodent inspections' success, combined with completed baiting treatments in 2015 and the bedbug reports showing no infestations during their respective reporting periods, indicates the building is currently maintaining acceptable pest control standards, though the open bedbug reporting violation established in 2024 remains unresolved as of the most recent data.
