580 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

580 Lafayette Avenue is a three-unit, class B (formerly converted) residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Fatima Shusama. The building has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues over the past five years, with the most recent being a sewage odor complaint in December 2024 that required the Department of Health to send corrective instructions to the property management.

A notable pattern emerged between 2021 and 2024 regarding bedbug reporting violations, where the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2023 to 2025 show zero reported infestations. The property also experienced rat activity in March and May 2021, though all subsequent rodent inspections through 2025 have passed. The building's maintenance record shows active management response to issues, particularly in 2022 when multiple permits were issued for various works, including plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and alteration (AL) permits in September 2022.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, passing all but two initial inspections in 2021, suggesting improved pest management practices. While there was a COVID-19 related complaint in May 2020, it was closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The most recent inspections and permits indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though the recurring bedbug report violations suggest occasional administrative oversight in this particular area of building management.
