Augrented Insights Report for 439 Lafayette Street

439 Lafayette Street is a 6-story, 5-unit mixed residential/artists building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Emily Cheng. The building experienced significant regulatory issues in 2021 when violations were documented related to illegal hotel operations in unit 2A, including improper egress requirements and inadequate fire alarm systems for transient use, resulting in three separate $2,500 fines.

These violations were subsequently resolved, though there were later two additional DOB violations in 2021 related to failure to certify corrections of the original ECB violations, which were dismissed in 2022. The building has maintained an excellent record in recent years regarding pest control and hygiene, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods (2019-2025) and consistent passing results in annual rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025.

The property is subject to regular oversight by city agencies, and while it experienced some serious code violations in 2021, there have been no significant safety or habitability concerns reported in the past three years. The building's historical records show a mix of residential and artist spaces, consistent with its designated building class.
