Augrented Insights Report for 25 Lafayette Avenue

The 6-story, 35-unit building at 25 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene, managed by Margaret Brunn and constructed in 1900, has experienced persistent heating/hot water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and April 2025, some classed as emergencies. In addition to these recurring heating problems, the building has faced significant maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions in February 2025 involving both mold and pests, and multiple apartment-specific maintenance issues. Recent inspections revealed several active violations related to the elevator system, including defective components and safety concerns, with penalties totaling $1,875.00.

Building inspections from 2024 documented various maintenance issues, including problematic conditions in multiple apartments (e.g., defective plaster, wood floors, bathroom fixtures) and the presence of rodent activity. The elevator has been a recurring problem, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding its out-of-service status and lack of alternate service. The building's facade has also been noted as requiring attention, with a 2023 complaint reporting spalling cement and brick damage.

While there have been some improvements, as evidenced by closed violations, several issues remain, including open violations from 2024 concerning window repairs and various maintenance deficiencies in apartments 2D, 4D, and 5E. The property has demonstrated some compliance with pest control requirements, though reports indicate ongoing rodent activity, as shown by multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2024. Additionally, the building has experienced one bedbug infestation case in 2024, though records indicate successful eradication. The property has undergone various inspection cycles, including elevator inspections, facade evaluations, and housing maintenance code assessments, revealing a pattern of recurring maintenance needs and code compliance issues that have required ongoing attention from management.
