86 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 86 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Chanin Schvartz, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2019, with the most recent complaints indicating ongoing problems with heating and water systems. A recent heat/hot water complaint was filed in November 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and plumbing problems between 2019 and 2020, including slow leaks and water supply issues, though many of these were closed without violation due to lack of access for inspection.
The property has also faced pest management challenges, as evidenced by rodent activity inspections in 2023 and 2025 showing persistent rat activity despite baiting efforts. While the building previously had bedbug violation notices between 2019-2024, the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates zero infested units. Additional concerns include a period of heat and hot water issues in late 2019, and multiple complaints regarding various apartment conditions.
The building underwent several inspections for maintenance code violations, with notable issues in Apartment 2F including mold infestation, and problems with bathroom fixtures and appliances that were subsequently addressed. The property has received various notice of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, though these appear to have been resolved based on the most recent filings. Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025 show consistent rat activity, despite multiple baiting attempts. While some complaints, including those regarding illegal conversion and work without permit, were filed in 2023-2024, inspections did not result in any substantiated violations.
