701 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

701 Lafayette Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Kevin Fu and completed in 2018. The property has maintained an impressive record of cleanliness and pest management, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the last five annual reports (2020-2024), and consistently passing rodent inspections (most recently in July 2025).

The building's bedbug reporting requirement was recently violated in March 2023, though this appears to be an administrative oversight rather than indicative of an infestation. The construction period between 2018-2019 saw various complaints and enforcement actions, including allegations of work beyond approved plans and unlicensed activity, though all stop work orders were eventually rescinded.

Several Department of Buildings violations from July 2019 remain active, requiring contact with the borough commissioner’s office. Multiple permits were issued during and after construction, including new building and plumbing permits in 2020, suggesting proper procedural follow-through on construction and occupancy requirements. While the building experienced some regulatory challenges during its initial phase, its consistent maintenance of bedbug-free status and successful rodent inspections over the past several years indicate proper ongoing management of core building maintenance issues.
