205 Lee Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 205 Lee Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Lea Gancfried and constructed in 1899, has a notable history of maintenance issues spanning several years. Most concerning are the recurring bedbug report violations, with open violations on record in 2022, 2023, and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.
While the building's official bedbug filing for the period from November 2019 to October 2020 reported no infested or re-infested units (with 0 units infested and 0 units that required eradication), the persistent violations suggest ongoing compliance issues with the reporting requirements. The property also has multiple open violations from October 2018 related to the public hall areas, specifically regarding broken or defective plaster surfaces and paint requirements for various walls and ceilings across different stories.
Notably, there was a significant safety issue identified in January 2018 regarding the fire egress from Apartment 2 on the second story, where defective fire escape hardware required correction, though this violation was certified as corrected in February 2018. While these violations don't appear to be directly life-threatening, they do indicate ongoing maintenance challenges in common areas of the building. The most recent violation related to the bedbug reporting requirements remains unresolved as of April 2024, suggesting continued difficulties with compliance in this specific area.
