80 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

80 Lafayette Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Fort Greene, currently owned by Honora Jack. The property has experienced persistent pest management challenges over recent years, with multiple reports of rodent and insect issues between 2021 and 2024, particularly affecting food establishment conditions. While several Department of Health investigations were conducted, most were administratively closed without violations, except for a 2018 food contamination issue that prompted formal written notification to the owner.

The building has maintained proper bedbug management protocols, with the last two annual reports (2023 and 2024) showing no infested units, though violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports were issued in 2021 and 2022. More pressing concerns involve the building's mechanical systems, particularly regarding boiler maintenance compliance. Between 2019 and 2024, there have been multiple active violations related to the failure to file required annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports, with the most recent violation issued in December 2024 carrying a $625 penalty.

Despite these violations, the building has passed several rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2022, with the last recorded inspection in September 2022 showing compliance. The property has also dealt with mobile food vendor-related pest issues, with the most recent complaint in July 2024, which was addressed by the Department of Health. While the building has a history of pest-related complaints, inspections have generally shown prompt attention to resolving these issues, though the persistent nature of the violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining optimal living conditions.
