58 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story, 12-unit residential building at 58 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abraham Noe, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are persistent concerns with rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, but showing a pattern of rat activity in 2024 and 2023 inspections. The property has also faced multiple sanitary conditions regarding pests, with an open complaint from June 2025, following a series of similar complaints in 2022-2023 that were closed without violations.

The building's safety equipment has required attention, including a documented smoke detector issue in 2021 (apartment 2) and multiple lead paint compliance violations in 2022 affecting apartments 6, 7, 8, and 9. The building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including a heat and hot water complaint in December 2022 (access issues prevented inspection), slow water leak complaints in 2021, and garbage/recycling storage issues in 2020. While there were some building violations recorded, such as for improper fire retardant plaster repair and encumbrances at the first-story public hall in 2022, these have since been addressed. The property has maintained relatively good bedbug control, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), though there were two infestations recorded in 2020-2021.

A boiler inspection violation was issued and resolved in 2020. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed and failed rodent inspections, with baiting and treatment applied in response to identified activity. While many service requests were closed without violations being documented, there have been recurring patterns of issues, particularly regarding pest control, safety equipment, and building maintenance. The property management has generally responded to inspections and violations, with many being certified as corrected through proper procedures.
