1068 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1068 Lafayette Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Nicole Riggle. The building has undergone regular inspections and reporting for both rodent control and bedbug management over the past several years, with significant improvement noted in recent compliance. Between 2022 and 2025, the property experienced several rodent-related incidents, including multiple complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2022 about rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.

The building had documented rat activity in early 2022, and incidents requiring bait application were noted. However, following these challenges, there has been notable progress: between 2023 and July 2025, the building has consistently passed initial rodent inspections every six months, with no recorded rat activity in over two years. Regarding bedbug management, the building faced violations in 2021 and 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed.

More recent annual bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 consistently show zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating effective management of this pest issue. The most current documentation shows all housing maintenance code violations have been addressed, with the building now maintaining regular compliance with health and safety requirements. The property appears to have successfully transitioned from a period of pest-related challenges to maintaining stable conditions, with no recent complaints or violations on record.
