Augrented Insights Report for 212 Lafayette Street

212 Lafayette Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in SoHo and owned by Ramiel Benyehuda. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly noticeable in late 2022 and throughout 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding the lack of building-wide heating and hot water.

These complaints prompted several HPD inspections, some of which resulted in violations. More recently, in 2022-2023, the building faced concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance, though subsequent inspections indicated no infestations. In terms of safety, there were violations related to window guard integrity (2020) and fire escape disrepair (2021-2022), with the latter resulting in Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $4,375.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to rodent control, with all recent inspections (2022-2024) passing successfully. Recent developments include the issuance of two permits in 2024 for authorized work, though several past complaints regarding illegal work and construction issues were noted between 2019-2022, with some inspections resulting in "Unable To Gain Access" notations. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, passing all recent checks, and has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 to 2025, showing no documented infestations during these periods.
