63A Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 63A Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Amritpal Hora, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly during late 2018. In December 2018, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing issues (basin/sink), and various appliance malfunctions, including problems with the refrigerator, gas range, and general cooking gas supply. While these complaints were classified as both emergency and non-emergency issues, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspections, leading to their closure.

The building has since demonstrated improved conditions, as evidenced by its clean record in recent bedbug filings from 2022-2024 showing no infestations, and a consistent pattern of passing rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025. More recent violations include two open Class B violations from February 2018 related to inadequate electrical service to fixtures in Apartment 2FL, and insufficient gas supply to the kitchen range. In 2022, the building received a Class A violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved in subsequent years, with no infestation reports filed since 2022.

A February 2023 complaint regarding an illegal conversion was noted, but access was denied during inspection attempts. The building shows active maintenance, with several permits issued in 2021 for unspecified work, and regular rodent inspections passing since at least 2020. While the building experienced significant maintenance issues in 2018, it appears to have stabilized with improved pest control and regular maintenance checks in recent years.
