- This is NYCHA public housing, so HPD’s violation database isn’t the maintenance record — ask the management office for this unit’s open work-order history and average repair time.
245 Lewis Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11221. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.
Building Condition
Issued August 2007. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1971. For buildings built between 1960 and 1978, Local Law 1 applies where the owner knows lead-based paint is present — there is no automatic pre-1960 presumption. Lead paint in residential use was federally banned in 1978.
