699 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
699 Lafayette Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Shlomo Ruben. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in February 2025 and a plumbing/water supply issue in June 2023, both of which were resolved within a few days of their reporting through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
In terms of building violations, there were two incidents in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though records show that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations since 2019. The property has also undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent conducted in July 2025 passing successfully, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in January 2024. The building has a history of issues related to an illegally cut sidewalk curb, with violations recorded in 2020 and 2021 that resulted in a $625 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved.
Regular rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in early 2024 among multiple successful inspections. The building's maintenance record shows prompt responses to emergency complaints, with HPD verifying corrections in both the recent heat/hot water and plumbing issues. The property's bedbug reporting history demonstrates proactive management, with six consecutive years of reporting showing no infestation or eradication cases, and the most recent reports for 2022-2024 confirming zero affected units.
