406 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

The five-story, nine-unit Old Law Tenement building at 406 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Salvatore Davola, has experienced several notable events over recent years, primarily related to regulatory compliance issues. As of July 2025, there are multiple active violations concerning the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023.

While violations issued in 2023 for the 2021 and 2022 inspections were subsequently dismissed, the pattern of non-compliance suggests ongoing oversight challenges. The building has also had several Department of Buildings complaints in recent years, including two Construction Safety Compliance Action complaints in May 2020, one of which resulted in a Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded by June 2020.

Other complaints from 2020, including those regarding Training Compliance and Adjacent Buildings Not Protected, were all closed with no violations warranted upon inspection. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods (2019-2025), with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the nine units. The property's age (built in 1900) and its classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with Harlem's historical architecture, though the pattern of inspection violations and compliance issues suggests areas where building management might require closer monitoring to ensure regulatory adherence.
