695 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The two-story, 9-unit building at 695 Lafayette Avenue, owned by Sam Wurzberger and built in 2003, has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past several years. Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple complaints about water leaks ranging from heavy flow to slow leaks, with the most recent reports in March 2023 remaining unresolved due to inspection access issues.
The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including a paint/plaster issue reported in March 2023, and a bedbug reporting requirement violation in March 2022, though there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years. A series of violations were noted in 2021 concerning unit 2C, including problems with hot water supply, water leaks, and plaster surfaces, which were ultimately resolved. The building's history includes several Department of Buildings complaints from 2019-2020 regarding construction practices, including concerns about worker safety and proper site conditions, particularly during alterations carried out by Park Remodeling LLC.
Recent compliance issues have emerged regarding parking structure inspection requirements, with an active ECB violation from October 2024 carrying a financial penalty. However, the building has maintained good rodent control, passing all recent inspections from 2022 through 2025, including three consecutive passes in 2024-2025. The property has also shown improvement in maintenance compliance, as evidenced by recent inspections demonstrating adherence to various housing codes, though some past violations have only recently been certified as resolved, such as an inspection certificate issue documented in June 2023.
