380 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
380 Lewis Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Tamara Brooks. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, following a pattern of bait application throughout 2023 and passing inspections in previous years. The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with the most concerning being an open violation since 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports.
Previous violations from 2019, while technically resolved, indicate lapses in building safety documentation, including requirements for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and the posting of the building's inspection certificate. The building has faced various maintenance issues, including electrical lighting problems and water leaks reported in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints. Notably, there were plumbing violations in 2019 regarding unauthorized work in Apartment 2A, resulting in monetary penalties, though these were eventually resolved.
The property's inspection history shows some recurring maintenance challenges over the years, particularly related to pest control. While the building has passed several rodent inspections in recent years and undergone multiple baiting treatments, the persistent nature of rodent issues is evident. The 2019 violations regarding safety notice postings and bedbug reporting requirements suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing regulations. The building's plumbing system has faced scrutiny, with several complaints and violations recorded in 2019 related to unauthorized work and improper materials used in plumbing installations, particularly affecting Unit 2A.
