Augrented Insights Report for 162 Lenox Avenue

This 33-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 162 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, built in 1930 and currently owned by Voyka Soto, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with heating and hot water throughout the building, with multiple complaints filed between April and May 2025. The building has also faced multiple plumbing and sanitary issues, with emergency complaints regarding water supply, sink problems, and mold conditions documented throughout 2025.

The property has ongoing open violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 2B, including problems with gas supply, water temperature, and door hardware, as well as issues from a July 2024 inspection of apartment 5F concerning smoke detector functionality and plaster conditions. The building's maintenance history reveals concerning patterns, including multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units during inspections, particularly for heating, hot water, and various appliance complaints. There is an active $12,500 Environmental Control Board violation from 2024 regarding unauthorized removal of fireproofing and interior wall partitions in apartment 1A.

The building's mechanical systems have faced scrutiny, with complaints about the elevator and boiler documented in 2024, though no violations were confirmed during inspection. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with multiple bait applications recorded. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years (2019-2023), the overall pattern of unresolved violations, particularly regarding heating systems and water supply issues, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges for the property.
