101 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
101 Lafayette Avenue is a 17-story, 204-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Keith Werny. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint in December 2023 involving an entire building outage that was reportedly resolved upon inspection.
There has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple incidents reported in 2023, including confirmed rat activity in August and May 2023, following earlier complaints in 2021 and 2020. The building's maintenance records from October 2022 reveal several open violations in Apartment 9C, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plaster surfaces, and plumbing concerns, along with evidence of roach infestation and mold conditions requiring abatement. The property has shown consistent compliance concerns with Local Law 188/17 requirements, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2023 showing inspectors unable to gain access to conduct necessary compliance checks.
There are also active violations related to elevator maintenance that have persisted since 2019, and a potential penalty related to exterior wall inspection requirements from 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various infrastructure issues, with multiple emergency work permits issued in 2023 and 2020 for urgent repairs. While recent bedbug reports from 2024 and 2023 show no infestation cases, the building's ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, suggest continuing resident comfort and safety concerns.
