563A Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 563A Lafayette Avenue property is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1899, currently owned by 563A Lafayette Ave LLC. The building has undergone several significant events since 2018, with particular focus required on construction-related safety issues between 2018-2019. During this period, multiple Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) violations were documented, including inadequate roof protection, unsupported scaffold concerns, and missing sidewalk shed requirements, resulting in penalties exceeding $12,500.

Additionally, there were training compliance violations with penalties issued to both OREO Services Inc and 563A Lafayette Ave LLC for failing to ensure required worker training. While most of these construction-related violations were resolved, two active Environmental Control Board (violations remain as of 2023) regarding training compliance, each carrying a $1,250 penalty. Recent developments show rat activity as of July 2025, though previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 had passed.

The building's permit history from 2018 to 2023 shows regular maintenance and improvements, with multiple permits issued for plumbing and electrical work. Several Department of Buildings violations related to failure to certify corrections of immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations were documented between 2018-2020, though these were subsequently dismissed. The most recent permits (2023) indicate active construction or repair work being conducted, as evidenced by the issuance of plumbing-related permits in June 2023. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2020, with a pattern of passing inspections in 2024 and 2023, though there have been instances of rat activity noted in 2020 and most recently in July 2025.
