273 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 9-unit, 4-story apartment building at 273 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Singletary Lenue, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to heating systems. Most notably, there were multiple complaints about boiler problems in early 2023, with three separate complaints filed between January 20 and February 6, though one complaint resulted in no violations and access issues were reported for others.
The building also faced a heating emergency in November 2019, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored shortly after the complaint. The property has consistently required annual bedbug reports, receiving violations for failing to file these reports in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though recent filings for 2023-2024 show no infestation cases. The building has multiple open violations from 2021 that warrant attention: these include issues with the carbon monoxide detection system in Apartment 4A, defective fire retardant materials in the 4th story public hall, and problems with the building's roof and various safety fixtures.
The property has passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, though there was one report of rat activity in September 2018. Despite these challenges, the building's most recent bedbug and rodent inspection results have been favorable, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building, constructed in 1931, continues to operate under its original "Class A" designation.
