708 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-unit, three-story building at 708 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Josiane Lysius, has maintained a generally positive housing and maintenance record since 2019. The 93-year-old property has consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted every six months from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management practices.

The building has experienced three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though all these violations were subsequently closed. Importantly, during this period, the building has shown no actual bedbug infestations, with all bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The bedbug reporting violations appear to have been procedural in nature, requiring the annual filing of bedbug reports as per HPD rules. The property has remained diligent in addressing these compliance issues, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period, which was filed on May 29, 2024, showing no infestation history. The building's overall maintenance record suggests active management, with regular inspections and prompt resolution of identified issues, though the historical bedbug report violations indicate some administrative challenges in maintaining compliance with specific reporting requirements.
