Augrented Insights Report for 938 Lafayette Avenue

The 3-story, 7-unit building at 938 Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abe Friedrich, has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues since 2022. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of garbage/recycling storage violations, with complaints filed in both 2023 and 2025, though inspections found no violations in these instances. The property has faced multiple sanitary challenges, including pest infestations, mold, and plumbing issues in 2022, with violations specifically documented for apartment 2.

This apartment also received several equipment safety violation notices in October 2022, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. While a heat/hot water complaint was filed in November 2022, inspectors were unable to gain access to confirm the problem. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicate continued rodent activity, with initial inspections showing rat activity in April and October 2024, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 passed.

The building's bed bug history shows minimal activity, with only one infested unit reported in 2022, while subsequent annual filings from 2022-2024 show zero infested units. A 2024 Failure to Maintain complaint was filed, but inspectors were unable to gain access. The property has consistently responded to health inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing, though earlier inspections showed rat activity. The building's record reflects ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, with multiple code violations being addressed and closed, including plumbing repairs, mold remediation, and various repairs in apartment 2.
