16 Lawton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 2-family residential building at 16 Lawton Street in Bushwick, owned by George Kelesidis, was constructed in 2017 and is currently four stories tall. The property has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all ten inspections from 2019 through 2025, and has reported no bedbug infestations in the previous four years (2022-2025).
However, there was a recent door issue reported in May 2025, which was investigated by HPD and found not to violate housing laws. The building's construction history reveals significant safety violations during its 2018-2019 construction period, with multiple citations related to inadequate guardrails, unsafe egress conditions, and poor site housekeeping, resulting in total penalties of $9,625. Additional violations included the presence of missing stair infills, lack of proper overhead protection, and absence of required construction supervision.
These violations were ultimately resolved. Since then, the building has had relatively few issues, with only three Department of Buildings complaints on record from 2019-2021, all of which were closed without finding any violations. The most recent building permits from 2019-2020 were regularly issued for various construction-related work, indicating proper documentation of building maintenance and improvements.
