35 Lee Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, two-unit building at 35 Lee Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Yehuda Miller, has been in operation since 1920 and has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory events over the past four decades. The property is currently facing multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with six violations issued between 2023 and 2024 that remain unresolved as of September 2024. The building has had consistent bedbug reporting violations over the past four years (2021-2024), receiving notices for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings from 2024 indicate no infested units during the reporting periods.

Environmental control board records show a work without permit violation from 2020, resulting in a $2,500 penalty for unauthorized modifications including a new balcony installation. Historical records reveal various maintenance issues dating back to the 1980s, including electrical safety concerns with exposed wires and missing junction box covers, which were addressed and certified as corrected in 2024. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2018, showing rat activity during multiple inspections, though bait was applied as a remedial measure.

More positively, the bedbug reports from 2024 indicate successful eradication efforts, with no reported infestations in recent filings. A new permit for work at the property was issued in March 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building. The property has demonstrated some challenges with timely compliance to various inspection requirements, as evidenced by the numerous violations related to pressure inspections and bedbug reporting.
