AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family residence at 912 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yoox Holding LLC, is a 2-story brick structure dating back to 1899. The building has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in November 2023, there was a reported rat sighting that prompted a Department of Health inspection, which resulted in minor violations but overall passed. The property has been subject to both Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including a significant case in April 2021 regarding construction work done contrary to approved plans, which resulted in an Oath Violation. An active ECB violation from April 2021 remains on record, related to failure to comply with DOB requirements for permit sign-off, with an imposed penalty of $1,250 that is still due.

The building's recent history shows attention to pest control, with rodent inspections in October 2024 and November 2023 both passing successfully. Additionally, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record from November 2022 to October 2023, reporting zero infested dwelling units, eradicated units, or re-infested units during this period. Two DOB complaints in 2020 regarding permit issues were recorded, with one resulting in denied access during inspection. While the building has faced various regulatory challenges, recent inspections indicate improved compliance with pest control requirements, though the outstanding ECB violation and penalty from 2021 should be noted as part of the building's historical compliance record.
