350 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 5-story, 9-unit tenement building at 350 Lenox Avenue, owned by Joe Soleimani, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its heating and plumbing systems. Most recently, in February 2025, there are open complaints regarding water supply issues and multiple heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Between January and February 2025, three heat/hot water complaints were logged, two of which were resolved, while one remains open. The building has also faced boiler-related concerns, with several Defective/Inoperative/No Permit complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent one in May 2025 resulting in an Oath Violation Served. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, including a power outage in June 2023, plumbing issues in August 2023, and pest control concerns in 2022, though recent rodent inspections from 2019 to 2025 consistently show passing results.

Two Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2022-2023 pertaining to self-closing doors and an infestation in apartment 1R, while multiple violations related to building maintenance, such as a broken glass panel in the front entrance door and defective door issues, were recorded between 2018 and 2023. Despite these issues, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), and the building has passed regular rodent inspections. The most recent environmental violation from August 2023 concerns missing support brackets for window A/C units on floors 2-5, for which a $500 penalty was imposed and remains active as of 2023.
