149 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
149 Lafayette Avenue is a five-story, ten-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, owned by Christine Debany and constructed in 1938 as an Old Law Tenement. The building's recent maintenance history shows a concerning sequence of plumbing-related issues, beginning in May 2025 with a plumbing complaint that was inspected and resulted in a Stop Work Order being fully rescinded in June 2025.
However, shortly thereafter, the Department of Buildings issued a violation on June 2, 2025, indicating an intention to revoke all plumbing approvals and permits due to the suspension of the licensed master plumber, which remains active as of the latest records. On a more positive note regarding resident health and safety, the building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any unit across all six filing periods from 2019 to 2025.
The most recent bedbug report filed on June 11, 2025, covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024, confirmed zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero re-infested units. The building's historical bedbug reporting pattern shows diligent compliance with health and safety regulations, with the only recent violation occurring in April 2024 being related to the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified in subsequent filings.
