Augrented Insights Report for 176 Lafayette Street

176 Lafayette Street, a 5-story, 14-unit tenement building dating back to 1879 in SoHo, currently has several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements as of 2024, and a history of various maintenance issues. The building has experienced recurring problems with water leaks, heavy flow (in 2022, 2021), fire escape safety concerns (in 2022 and 2021), and pest-related issues. Most concerning is the recent October 2023 complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests, where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2024, with some recent compliance failures in 2023, though it passed its most recent inspection in August 2024. The property has a documented pattern of fire escape safety concerns, water-related issues, and pest problems, though many recent complaints from 2019 through 2022 were closed without violations. Other notable incidents include an illegal gutter installation violation (2021) and an illegal hotel rooms complaint (2020), both of which were closed.

The Department of Buildings' violations from 2021 included issues with facade maintenance and pedestrian safety during construction, with one violation remaining active as of 2021 for temporary construction permit issues. While some structural and maintenance issues have been addressed over time, the recurring nature of certain problems, particularly pest-related ones, suggests ongoing management challenges. Recent rodent inspection pass in August 2024 indicates some improvement in pest control measures.
