453A Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 453A Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Charles Huggins, has maintained a generally positive record over the past several years, with particular attention to pest management compliance. The property, built in 1905 and classified as a Heretofore Converted Class A building, has demonstrated consistent adherence to bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2024) as confirmed by the most recent filings in June 2024 and April 2024.

The building's bedbug violation notices from 2021-2024, which were promptly addressed, related only to the requirement to file annual reports, rather than indicating any actual infestation problems. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good maintenance, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing without any significant issues.

However, there was one instance of rat activity noted in September 2022, which appears to have been an isolated incident as subsequent inspections recorded passing results. The property has demonstrated compliance with multiple health and safety requirements, with regular inspections showing attention to both pest management and housing maintenance code requirements. The owner's timely response to violations and consistent reporting of bedbug monitoring suggests active management of the building's maintenance requirements, particularly in comparison to the more serious violations that might affect resident safety or comfort.
