428 Lafayette Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 5-story building at 428 Lafayette Street in NoHo, currently owned by the Casper R. Callen Trust, dates back to 1833 and contains 8 residential units. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple complaints about no heat or hot water recorded in 2023, 2019, and 2018, though in each case, tenants reported that service was eventually restored.

Most recently, in February 2023, there were complaints about flooring/stairs and fire escape safety, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection of these conditions. Historical violations include two bedbug reporting violations in 2021-2022 and various maintenance issues dating back to the 1970s involving building safety and alteration legalization. The building has undergone several inspections and received various permits for work, particularly in 2018-2019, though specific details of the work were not provided in the records.

Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 noted issues with pedestrian protection and exhaust discharge, while Department of Buildings complaints from 2020 and 2018 highlighted concerns about wall conditions and egress. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections, with no infestations reported between 2021 and 2024, and has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2012 and 2025. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat systems and building safety features, it has generally addressed most violations and passed recent environmental inspections.
