166 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
166 Lafayette Avenue is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, constructed in 1875 and currently owned by Yan Chen. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being related to bedbug reporting requirements in March 2023, for which violations were noted in both 2022 and 2023 inspections.
A comprehensive inspection in March 2019 revealed multiple violations, including safety concerns such as broken or defective paving in the front yard, missing safety notices regarding smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, improper door closure mechanisms at the front entrance, and the need for repairs to twelve broken sprinkler heads in the public hall. The property has maintained an active record of bedbug monitoring, with no confirmed infestations or re-infestations reported in any of the six consecutive annual reports submitted between 2019 and 2025.
The building has also undergone some documented improvements, as evidenced by multiple permits issued under job number 321953800 between December 2019 and October 2020, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available records. While the building's violation history shows a pattern of addressing safety and maintenance requirements, most violations have been closed or certified as resolved, notably including a group of violations from March 2019 that were certified as corrected by March 27, 2019.
