305 Wyona Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

305 Wyona Street is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building in East New York, owned by Rick Lewis and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring between September 2023 and May 2024, including water leaks (heavy flow), flooring/stairs issues, and problems with electrical systems.

In October 2023, the building faced several emergency maintenance concerns including a problematic fire escape, safety issues with smoke detectors, pest infestations, and door problems. The building currently has multiple open violations from earlier this year, including issues with roach and mice infestations, water leak problems, and various repair needs involving floors, tiles, and walls in the third-story apartment.

Recent inspections have revealed ongoing maintenance challenges, including multiple cases of rodent inspections failing for "Other Reasons" in 2022 and 2023 (though the January 2024 inspection passed), and the Department of Buildings issued an ECB violation in February 2024 related to failure to file for the Tenants Protection Plan, with a penalty of $6,250. The building's utility systems have also shown periods of instability, with complaints about power outages and no lighting recorded in September 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued. While some complaints have been addressed, as evidenced by their closure status, many maintenance issues appear to persist, with several complaints and violations still marked as open or unresolved as of the latest data.
