568 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

568 Lafayette Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joseph Choi and completed in 2016. The building has experienced several notable issues since its construction, with the most pressing concerns being the open bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024, which indicate non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

In addition, there were significant safety-related violations documented in March 2019, including missing postings for smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and various building information signs in the public hall. While these violations were certified as corrected by May 2019, they reflect initial lapses in building safety communication protocols. The building has experienced two notable maintenance issues: a heavy water leak in March 2019 (which did not result in violations) and missing signage that led to HPD involvement.

However, the property's rodent inspection record shows consistent compliance since 2020, with regular inspections passing from 2021 to 2025, except for a rat activity incident in August 2020. The building's most recent 311 complaint history (as of October 2023) shows no recurring or major issues, and all open violations from previous years have either been resolved or require no further action. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections and passed multiple recent inspections from 2020 through 2025, demonstrating improved maintenance standards in this area.
