226 Lee Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

226 Lee Avenue is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by Mike Deutsch and constructed in 1996. The building has persistent Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, classified as Class A, suggest ongoing challenges with meeting mandatory health and safety documentation requirements. The building's history includes some notable events regarding building safety and maintenance, though most are relatively minor.

In 2019, there was a Department of Buildings violation related to elevators in private residential dwellings, which was dismissed within 20 days of issuance, and this penalty was specifically for a failure to file requirement. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2018, with initial findings showing rat activity in May, but a subsequent compliance inspection in July resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that remediation efforts were implemented successfully. While the building was constructed relatively recently (in 1996), the recurring nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years indicates an unresolved administrative compliance issue that affects the building's violation status.
