Augrented Insights Report for 285 Lafayette Street

285 Lafayette Street is a 10-story, 30-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Divya Rashad. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are three active violations related to failure to submit Environmental Engineering Reports (EER) for multiple years (2021-2023) and non-completion of a Category 5 inspection, with penalties potentially exceeding $6,250.

The property has documented rodent activity in 2023, though it passed its most recent initial inspection in 2024. While there was a reported mold issue in 2021, inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations. The building underwent several safety inspections between 2019 and 2025, including a Compliance Inspection in 2023 and a COVID-19 Executive Order inspection in 2021, with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.

The property has experienced some construction-related compliance issues, including two Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 regarding inadequate tenant protection plans and unauthorized electrical work, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $1,425. Multiple permits have been issued in recent years for various works, with the most recent permits issued in 2024. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all recent filings showing zero infested units. The Department of Buildings has performed regular inspections and issued several permits for work performed in the building, with the most recent activity occurring in 2024.
