Augrented Insights Report for 315 Lewis Avenue

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 315 Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ota Jefferson LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024. Multiple emergency complaints were filed in October 2024 regarding heat/hot water issues, mold, ceiling problems, water leaks, and a fire escape concern, though most of these were subsequently closed after inspections. Of particular note is an active violation from October 2024 concerning an obstructed window exit in apartment 9, which carries a penalty of $1,250.

Earlier maintenance challenges included pest control issues, water leaks, and various paint/plaster concerns, with the building undergoing rodent inspections that indicated varying levels of rat activity between 2021 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issues. The building's fire escape was previously documented as having encumbrances in 2022, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no infested or eradicated units reported in the most recent filings through 2024.

Recent violations from October 2024 focus on apartment 9 specifically, citing issues with self-closing doors and an unauthorized sheetrock wall affecting egress. The building's maintenance history demonstrates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple inspections required to address recurring issues. Despite these challenges, recent housing maintenance code filings show some improvements, with several emergency complaints from October 2024 being closed within a week, suggesting more prompt responses to tenant complaints in recent months.
