710 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, four-unit building at 710 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Denise Madon, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the current situation regarding annual bedbug reporting violations, with three open violations spanning from 2022 to 2024, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

There has been an ongoing electrical issue reported in November 2022 regarding lighting problems, which remained unresolved as of August 2023 due to inspectors' inability to gain access to the premises. The building has a history of access-related issues for inspections, particularly noted in three separate complaints about unauthorized work in occupied multiple dwellings between 2021-2025, with inspectors unable to gain access during final attempts.

While a gas utility referral complaint from 2021 was investigated and found no violations, this incident, along with the other access issues, raises some concerns about maintenance response protocols. On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections annually between 2019 and 2025, demonstrating good pest management practices in this area. Two permits were issued in late 2019 for unspecified work, suggesting some level of building maintenance or improvement activity, though the nature of these permits is not detailed in the records.
