415 Lafayette Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 5-story, 3-unit residential building at 415 Lafayette Street in NoHo, owned by Robert Moskowitz, has had several notable incidents and maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2024 and November 2023, there were two food poisoning complaints investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found in the March incident, and the November incident was determined to be isolated.

Earlier, from November 2021 to May 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints filed with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding electrical issues (wiring and outlet problems) and heavy water leaks, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions before closing the complaints. The building underwent construction work in 2019-2020, which generated two illegal activity complaints and resulted in environmental control board violations related to improper construction material storage, though these were resolved with a $625 penalty.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2025) and consistent passing results on rodent inspections, including the most recent inspection in March 2025. Multiple plumbing (PL) and electrical (EW) permits have been issued for the building between 2019 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and upgrade work. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues in the past, particularly in 2021, there have been no reported violations or major complaints since 2023, and all recent inspections have shown satisfactory conditions.
