Questions about this building

Is 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 52 new Class C against 0 certifications filed in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 15 Class C violations, all 15 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened April 29, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed July 20, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $4,268 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened February 21, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

Does 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued May 29, 2013. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

When was the boiler at 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2025, the latest on November 19. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 30, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 2014 as the year 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 23 residential units at 790 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
