709 Lafayette Avenue is a four-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Lincoln Eccles. The property has experienced ongoing pest and sanitation challenges, particularly with rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple DOHMH complaints and failed rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024.
