775 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 14-story, 83-unit building at 775 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Keith Anosike and constructed in 2008, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in 2025, particularly related to plumbing and heating systems. Between March and June 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with some violations issued by HPD.

The building is currently facing various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by recent housing maintenance code complaints in June 2025, including water leaks, mold issues, and problems with toilets and appliances. Three open violations remain from a November 2024 inspection, including requirements to repair plaster surfaces, address water leaks, and provide proper building signage. The building has demonstrated ongoing concerns with its infrastructure, with multiple plumbing and water-related service requests throughout 2025, many of which resulted in inspection access issues.

The property has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections and compliance checks in recent years, including elevator inspection and Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with some violations still marked as active. A combustion air fan issue with an associated penalty was noted in 2022. While the building's bedbug reports consistently show no infestations since 2019, there have been multiple rodent inspections showing occasional rat activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, suggesting improvements in pest management.
