Augrented Insights Report for 519 Lafayette Avenue

At 519 Lafayette Avenue, a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, significant concerns have been documented regarding fire safety and unauthorized modifications. A 2022 inspection revealed multiple hazardous conditions, including obstructed fire escape routes and lockable doors at fire escape windows in Apartments 1 and 3, as well as a closed door to a scuttle opening in the 3rd-story public hall.

The building's conversion status has been questioned, with an Environmental Control Board violation issued in 2022 regarding illegal tri-plex occupancy extending through the first story, basement, and cellar, with associated penalties. Multiple open violations remain regarding unauthorized alterations to the 2nd-story public hall, stairs, and skylight.

More recent inspections show a developing concern with rodent activity, as evidenced by a July 2025 inspection reporting "Rat Activity," marking the first such finding in over a decade of regular inspections, though prior to this, the building consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2020 through mid-2024. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the annual reports from 2021 through 2024, and the most recent report from December 2024 continuing this trend. While some housing maintenance code violations from 2021-2022 have been closed, several important violations remain open as of the latest records, particularly those related to building egress and unauthorized modifications.
