80 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 36-unit, 4-story tenement building at 80 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jeanne Diulio, has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring official intervention over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2025, there were problems with flooring, heat/hot water systems, plumbing (radiator issues), and a water leak, many of which were classified as emergency situations according to Housing Maintenance Code standards. Violations were issued in several of these cases, particularly concerning flooring and heating systems.

In late 2024, the building faced issues with paint/plaster work (both walls and ceilings), plumbing (bathtub/shower), and unsanitary conditions (including mold). A significant cluster of violations was documented in apartment 2H during November 2024, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, bathtub caulking, ceramic tiles, and enamel finish, though many of these have since been certified as corrected. The building's history shows recurring concerns with basic services, including heat and hot water systems, particularly during the first half of 2025. While the property has maintained a generally pest-free record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and rodent inspections showing passing results in 2022, there have been periods of concern.

Notably, an inspection in March 2022 revealed a mice infestation in apartment 4I, and there were multiple instances of required bait applications in 2017. The building has two active violations as of 2023 related to the failure to submit required Energy Efficiency Reports for 2021 and 2022. A structural stability complaint was investigated and found to have no violations in March 2021. The property has undergone multiple HPD inspections over the years, with varying outcomes including some where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct the necessary evaluations.
