Living on Lewis Avenue in Brooklyn is a challenge, as indicated by its grade of F and a score of 0, the lowest possible rating from the city. Residents here face a barrage of issues that impact their daily lives. The most pressing concern is the heat and hot water, with over 190 complaints, suggesting that many residents struggle with inconsistent or inadequate heating and hot water supplies, making the cold winter months particularly harsh.
Noise pollution is another significant problem, with a total of 184 complaints related to residential and street/sidewalk noise. The constant noise, often from loud music or parties (114 complaints), banging or pounding (48 complaints), and even loud talking (19 complaints), can make it difficult for residents to enjoy a peaceful environment, especially at night.

The streets and sidewalks themselves are in poor condition, with 33 complaints about street conditions and 20 about sidewalks.

Water leaks (25 complaints) and paint or plaster issues (23 complaints) also pose problems for residents, suggesting a need for more maintenance and repairs.
Neighboring streets paint a mixed picture.
