1130 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1130 Lafayette Avenue is a three-story, two-unit residential building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Bushwick Apartments LLC. The property has experienced recurring pest management challenges over the past several years, with particular attention to rodent control and bedbug incidents. Most recently, in September 2024, complaints about both mosquitoes and rodent attraction were reported, though inspections did not reveal any violations.

The building has maintained an active dialogue with health authorities, undergoing multiple rodent inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, with most recent inspections passing, though there were some failed results in late 2023 and early 2024 indicating previous rat activity. The building has open violations as of July 2023, including requirements for proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and various safety postings in common areas. Specific maintenance issues documented include concerns about a defective building entrance door, though this was categorized as a Class C violation indicating potentially more serious safety implications.

Historical records show the building regularly addressed bedbug infestations, particularly in 2022-2023 when two units were affected, though more recent filings (2023-2024) indicate no current infestations. The property has a documented history of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with complaints filed in 2022 and 2023, though inspections did not always result in violations being found. Previous maintenance issues in 2020 included concerns about window frames, ventilation systems, and carbon monoxide detector problems, though access for inspection was not granted in those instances.
