Augrented Insights Report for 228 Lewis Avenue

228 Lewis Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Elliot Lipschitz. The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in any unit over the past seven years (2019-2025). Recent inspections have shown consistent compliance with rodent control measures, with passed inspections in 2022, 2024, and most recently in July 2025.

The property has experienced some maintenance and regulatory issues, particularly concerning boiler inspections, with violations noted in 2024 regarding failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, resulting in a $655 penalty. Multiple violations were issued in 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure boiler inspections from 2019-2023, though these were ultimately dismissed in March 2025. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, with several permits issued for various work types between 2019 and 2024.

The building has experienced minimal serious issues, with two Department of Health complaints on record: a food poisoning incident in 2021 and a food worker hygiene complaint in 2023, though these were likely related to a nearby food establishment rather than the residential building itself. Two Department of Buildings complaints were filed in 2019-2020, one regarding illegal activity (where inspectors were unable to gain access) and another concerning an unpermitted structure, though both were closed without significant penalties. The property's consistent filing of bedbug reports showing zero infestations, combined with regular rodent inspections passing, suggests generally good maintenance of common areas and basic building systems, despite the recent boiler inspection compliance issues.
