Questions about this building

Does 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn had 12 open violations on September 26, 2026: 12 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 4 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 after the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued August 16, 1993. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened May 7, 2025. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

When was 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 8 residential units at 169 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
