730 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

730 Lafayette Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mendy Deutsch and constructed in 2015. The building has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with all six annual filings between 2021 and 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, as well as no instances of re-infestation.

While there was one minor incident involving a bedbug-related violation in April 2021 concerning the late filing of the annual report, this appears to be an administrative oversight that was promptly addressed. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing generally good results, including a compliance pass in December 2024 and an initial inspection pass in May 2025.

However, there was one instance of rat activity noted in November 2024, marking the only recorded rodent issue in the past seven years of inspections. Prior to this, the building had numerous passed inspections between 2018-2020, with the exception of a July 2017 compliance inspection which also noted rat activity. The relatively high level of rodent monitoring and consistent passing results, with just two recorded instances of rat activity over seven years, suggests active management of pest control measures, though the single rat incident from late 2024 should be acknowledged as a recent pest control challenge.
