110 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 3-story, 8-unit building at 110 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Leonard Wadler, has a notable history dating back to 1859. Most recently, in May 2025, the property experienced a rodent infestation that prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigation, revealing violations that required follow-up inspections.

While this initial inspection in May 2025 showed rat activity, a subsequent compliance inspection in June 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building has consistently reported no bedbug incidents over the past several years, with regular annual filings showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units between 2018 and 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices in this regard.

The property's maintenance record shows a relatively stable environment regarding pest control, with the recent rodent issues being the first major pest concern in this reporting period. The building's age and history of conversions to Class A status are consistent with typical Brooklyn brownstone developments, though the current rodent situation marks a concerning deviation from its otherwise comparatively clean maintenance record. While the building has had various inspections and compliance checks over the years, this recent rodent incident appears to be the first significant health-related violation in recent memory, with the building passing the subsequent compliance inspection indicating prompt attention to the issue.
