Augrented Insights Report for 934 Lafayette Avenue

934 Lafayette Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Kohn. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in September 2023 involving water leaks, mold, and various paint/plaster problems, particularly affecting Apartment 2. These issues resulted in open violations for damaged plastered surfaces and paint requirements in the kitchen and other areas.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with significant complaints in 2018 and 2023 showing recurring issues with leaks and mold. Safety concerns have also been evident, with past violations noting defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2019, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's maintenance history shows some positive developments, including consistent bedbug reporting from 2020 to 2024 showing no infestations in any unit during these periods.

However, rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple rat activity reports and baiting operations between 2024 and 2025. The property has also experienced some administrative challenges, as evidenced by Department of Buildings violations in 2021 related to construction permit compliance. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, it should be noted that many recent repairs have been addressed promptly, with the majority of violations from past inspections being resolved. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown a mix of rat activity and compliance passes, indicating ongoing efforts to manage this issue.
