240 Lafayette Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

240 Lafayette Street is a five-story, four-unit residential building located in SoHo, constructed in 1873 and currently owned by Iwona Weissman. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2024, including problems with windows (both panes and guards), plumbing (toilet issues), and mold.

While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and no violations were initially issued, recent inspections on August 17, 2024 revealed several open violations in Apartment 4 that require attention: these include issues with window spring balances, carbon monoxide detector functionality, smoke detector functionality, and self-closing door mechanisms. The building has maintained a generally good record regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent two reporting periods (2023-2024), though there was one reported case in 2022-2023 that was resolved.

Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2011 through 2024, indicating effective pest control measures. Historical complaints from 2019 included food-related issues (regarding calorie labeling and a food poisoning complaint), though these appear to have been resolved. The property has a mixture of open maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in terms of safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and basic infrastructure (windows and doors), while maintaining good overall pest management and sanitation standards through regular inspections and prompt response to reported issues.
