Augrented Insights Report for 209 Lewis Avenue

The three-story, two-family house at 209 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Sam Stern, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over recent years, with the most recent being recorded in June 2025. The property has had multiple rat sightings (August-September 2023; 2024; 2025) and mouse sightings (August 2024), leading to regular DOHMH bait applications throughout 2024-2025, with official inspections consistently finding rat activity. A significant food establishment violation was reported in June 2025 regarding rodents/insects/garbage that remains open as of this writing, following a previous 2024 incident involving spoiled food.

The building faced a notable electrical safety issue in 2020, with violations regarding unauthorized installation of three AC compressors on the outside wall, resulting in a $400 penalty, though this was later downgraded to a Class 2 or 3 violation. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with three consecutive annual reports (2019, 2022, 2023) showing zero infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases. A housing maintenance emergency complaint regarding heat/hot water for the entire building was received and resolved in April 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to rodent issues, with multiple inspections and bait applications conducted by DOHMH. While recent inspections have found rat activity, the property management has been responsive to inspections and violations, as evidenced by the closed status of many previous complaints. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the open rodent-related complaints and violations regarding food establishment conditions, which have prompted official written notifications to the owner/landlord. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as a two-family house suggest it has experienced typical urban maintenance challenges over the years, though the concentrated rodent issues stand out as a significant ongoing concern.
