673 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 673 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shahram Taied, has a documented history spanning several years that highlights both challenges and improvements in building management. Built in 1931 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, the property experienced significant pest-related issues in late 2019 with both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported problems.

The building has been subject to two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though these were later resolved. More recently, from 2022 onwards, the property has demonstrated consistent improvement in pest management, with the bedbug reporting history showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in the annual reports filed in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The most recent bedbug report from January 2024 confirmed zero infested units for the period of November 2022 to October 2023.

The building's rodent inspection record shows a pattern of passing inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 all resulting in "Passed" designations. Notably, there were two instances of rat activity recorded in 2021 and 2023, but these appear to be isolated occurrences. Overall, while the building has faced pest management challenges in the past, recent records indicate improved conditions with regular compliance checks and absence of documented infestations in the past two years.
