Augrented Insights Report for 20 Lenox Avenue

20 Lenox Avenue is a 7-story, 118-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Melania Cinque. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns about heating, sanitation, and pest control. Most recently, in early 2025, there were heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, and as of June 2025, there remains an open emergency complaint related to unsanitary conditions and pests.

The building has documented multiple rodent-related complaints between 2024 and 2025, with inspections showing both rat activity and failed compliance results in early 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with habitability standards. In 2023, several apartments (1J, 4D, 5F, and 7J) were found to have various code violations including pest infestations, inadequate hot water supply, and defective fixtures.

Multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests were recorded in 2023 and 2024, including a bedbug infestation affecting one unit in late 2024. The property has also faced infrastructure concerns, with Department of Buildings violations noting issues with the exterior facade, including cracks in stucco work and corroded cornice members. Despite these ongoing challenges, some improvements have been documented, such as the closure of several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023 after corrections were verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
