360 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

360 Lafayette Avenue is a 4-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building in Clinton Hill, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Helaine Worrell. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern about safety and infrastructure. In March 2025, the Department of Health reported rodent violations, following an April 2025 inspection that confirmed rat activity.

A cluster of complaints in February 2024 led to multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections, resulting in violations related to walls, stairs, and safety systems including sprinklers. Two notable Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2022-2023 involved unauthorized plumbing work and patio construction, with a current open violation regarding an improperly installed chain link fence on the roof. The building's maintenance history shows recurring rodent issues, though recent inspections (2019-2025) have generally passed compliance checks.

While there have been multiple complaints about various building conditions including mold, window frames, and stair safety, most inspections resulted in no violations being found. Interestingly, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 to the present, with no reported infestations or eradications in any of the five annual reports. The building's housing maintenance violations from early 2024 included issues with public hall walls, fire retardant materials, and wooden stairs, some of which were noted as emergency situations. The property's historical data indicates ongoing attention to basic maintenance needs, with both compliance and violation patterns showing a mix of addressed and continuing concerns over time.
