251 Lee Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

251 Lee Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Aizer Moskovic. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, with the most pressing concern being an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, representing non-compliance with HPD requirements.

Previous bedbug report filings for the periods ending October 2021 and October 2022 indicated zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue in prior years. In 2021, multiple violations were documented, including construction materials obstructing public areas and emergency access points, particularly on the roof stairs and fifth-story public hall, though these were subsequently closed.

The building has faced elevator-related concerns, with an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2019 regarding failure to correct defects identified during a 2017 inspection. However, two other DOB violations from 2019 and one from 2020 were dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent inspections showing that defects had been properly corrected. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, the resolution of most past violations and the absence of reported infestations in recent bedbug filings indicate some level of ongoing maintenance efforts, despite the current open bedbug reporting violation.
