226 Fillmore Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The 60-unit, 5-story Lafayette Manor Housing Development Fund building at 226 Fillmore Street, constructed in 2010 and located in the Randall Manor neighborhood, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues in recent months, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. Between March and April 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water problems, including one building-wide complaint that remains open as of April 2025. The building also faced issues with unsanitary conditions, including reported mold and pest problems in March 2025, with HPD issuing violations for the pest infestation.

Previous inspections in mid-2023 revealed several violations, including a Class A violation for failing to post contact information for building staff and Class C violations regarding non-self-closing doors at building entrances and laundry rooms. While the building appears to have generally maintained rodent control (passing inspections from 2018), there have been historical issues with bedbug infestations in previous years, though recent filings from 2021-2024 show no reported infestations. The building's Department of Buildings record shows several violations related to administrative requirements, including a dismissed violation in 2021 for failure to file an energy benchmarking report.

Notably, multiple heat/hot water-related complaints were filed during March-April 2025, with most being classified as emergencies and requiring immediate attention. While some complaints were investigated and deemed not to violate housing laws, others resulted in open or unresolved conditions, particularly the building-wide heat/hot water issue from March 2025. The property has maintained relatively regular bedbug reporting in recent years, with the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, though earlier periods from 2019-2021 had some isolated cases with successful eradication.
