290 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

This three-story, 1878 two-family house located at 290 Lafayette Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Waldemar Lobban, has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past few years. The most recent incidents occurred in August 2023, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests.

These complaints were inspected and resulted in violations being issued, with the cases closing in October 2023. Prior to this, there was a similar pest complaint in December 2022, which was resolved within a week after verification by HPD that the conditions had been corrected.

The building's complaint history also includes a Department of Buildings inspection in May 2021 regarding an unpermitted condition, though this investigation resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection and was closed by June 2021. The pattern of pest-related complaints, particularly the two identical incidents in August 2023, suggests ongoing challenges with pest control in the building, despite the December 2022 incident being resolved relatively promptly. The most recent violations, issued in October 2023, indicate that similar issues have persisted beyond the December 2022 resolution, though the specific nature and extent of the violations can be further explored through the HPD violation records online.
