304 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 304 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mary Baptiste, has experienced multiple maintenance issues recently, particularly in 2025. Most notably, between April and May 2025, there were several HPD complaints resulting in violations related to appliance problems (including refrigerators and electric ranges), plumbing issues (specifically sinks), and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations. An apartment heat/hot water complaint from May 2025 was closed due to lack of access for inspection.
More seriously, recent inspections in late 2024 have revealed several open violations in the ground floor apartment (basement) concerning building safety and habitability, including issues with self-closing doors, light fixtures, water temperature regulation (exceeding 130 degrees), and pest infestations involving roaches. There are also open violations regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues. The property has shown some improvement in recent months, with rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 passing successfully, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
The building's history shows a mix of compliance and violation history, with some concerning patterns emerging in late 2024 and early 2025. For instance, multiple violations were documented in late 2024 regarding water temperature, pest infestations, and safety devices that remain unresolved as of this report date. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported between 2022-2024, the cluster of recent maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.
