264 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

264 Lenox Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building located in Harlem, owned by Tom Hall and constructed in 1886. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past several years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between 2024 and 2025.

Between May 2024 and June 2025, there were multiple rodent inspections, including two inspections in 2024 where rat activity was confirmed (June 2024 and an earlier inspection in May 2024). The building has shown some improvement, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in a "Passed" rating, which is consistent with the pattern of passing inspections seen in earlier years (2019, 2023, and 2022), though there were also failures and enforcement action in 2019 and 2024. The Department of Buildings records show two electrical work permits issued for the property, one in August 2018 and another in August 2019, both related to job number 122819619.

While the permits were issued, the specific work performed and its impact on the building's condition or systems is not detailed in the available data. The property has had some fluctuations in rodent control success, with initial inspections sometimes resulting in failed inspections for various reasons, though more recent inspections have generally passed, suggesting improved management of these issues. The building's age and the documented history of rodent issues indicate that ongoing monitoring and maintenance have been necessary to address these challenges.
