Augrented Insights Report for 788 Lafayette Avenue

The 23-unit, 3-story apartment building at 788 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gregory Anderson, has experienced significant maintenance challenges since its 2014 construction. Most recently, in June 2025, the building faced multiple complaints regarding unsatisfactory conditions, including appliance problems (refrigerator and electric range), mold, heat/hot water issues, and rodent concerns. These complaints were generally inspected by HPD, though some inspections were not completed.

The building has ongoing rodent issues, with inspections in 2024-2025 consistently finding rat activity, most recently confirmed in July 2025. The property has a record of various maintenance violations and incidents, particularly concerning the elevator system. Between May and July 2023, there were multiple complaints about the elevator being inoperable, with a resulting Environmental Control Board violation regarding access to the motor room and inoperability that incurred a $1,250 penalty.

A December 2024 inspection revealed several violations at Apartment 3G, including water leaks, mold, and a documented mouse infestation that required remediation. The building has also shown patterns of other maintenance issues, including problems with appliances, unsanitary conditions, and safety concerns related to window guards and doors. While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2019, the persistent rodent activity and recurring maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and pest control.
