558 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

558 Lafayette Avenue is a five-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2002 in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The property, owned by Baruch Weisberg, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025.

These complaints represent the most pressing current building concerns, though two of the complaints in December 2024 could not be verified due to lack of access. The building has demonstrated good maintenance of essential systems overall, with no active violations as of June 2025. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2018-2024 showing zero affected units and no history of infestation.

The building's maintenance history reveals several resolved issues, primarily documented in late 2022 and 2023, including heating system problems that affected unit 4R (requiring repairs to the heating system, hot water fixtures, and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors), and various general maintenance matters such as garbage storage and intercom system issues. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2021, with bait applied in June 2021 following initial rat activity, though subsequent inspections through 2025 have shown no further concerns. While there have been multiple complaints regarding building systems, particularly heat and hot water, most violations have been promptly addressed and resolved, with the most recent issues representing the only significant ongoing concern as of July 2025.
