218 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

218 Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a three-unit, three-story residential building constructed in 2007 and owned by Sharon Hakmon. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant being two emergency complaints: one regarding unsanitary mold conditions in 2022 and another concerning heavy water leakage in 2018.

In both cases, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection, leaving these complaints unresolved at the time. The building's recorded history includes two illegal curb cut complaints in 2021, which were investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The property has maintained an impressive record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, following one documented case in 2019.

Recent inspections between 2022 and 2025 show consistent monitoring and compliance regarding rodent activity, though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2021 and early 2022. The building has successfully passed all recent rodent inspections, with the most recent being in March 2025. While there have been some maintenance concerns in the past, particularly regarding water and mold issues, the absence of recent complaints and the successful pest control record suggests improved conditions in recent years.
