820 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

820 Lafayette Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1901 and located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The property, currently owned by Murray Cunningham, has experienced consistent housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug report compliance over the past four years, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all citing the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD regulations.

These recurring violations suggest an ongoing challenge with compliance requirements, though it's worth noting that these specific violations do not directly indicate an infestation. In contrast, the building has maintained an impressive record in rodent inspections, passing all required inspections between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 continuing this trend of compliance.

This consistent record of passing rodent inspections over multiple years suggests effective pest management practices in this area. While the open bedbug report violations represent a significant administrative compliance issue, the building's strong rodent control performance demonstrates a degree of attention to pest management overall. The property has not been recorded with any other significant violations or complaints in recent years, indicating relative stability in other maintenance aspects.
