911 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

911 Lafayette Avenue, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is a 4-unit, 4-story building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Danielle Brown. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2019. These included heating and hot water outages affecting the entire building (November 2019), followed by multiple emergency issues within a week, including water leaks, plumbing problems, and ceiling damage requiring repairs.

Additional concerning incidents included safety violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in November 2018. Although these issues were officially resolved, the building has had recurring maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a 2019 violation regarding self-closing doors at the building entrance and apartment 4, as well as plumbing and water leak issues in apartment 4 documented during a December 2019 inspection. More recent records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing from 2024 indicating no known infestations.

The building underwent rodent inspections in 2022-2025, with most inspections resulting in "Passed" ratings, though there were some instances of rat activity noted in January and August 2024. The property has maintained its bedbug-free status over the past two years, with all five bedbug reports since 2022 showing no infested units. A significant 2024 violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements was issued but later closed. The building's most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a "Passed" rating, continuing the pattern of successful pest management seen in recent years.
