410 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

410 Lenox Avenue, a 5-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building constructed in 1901 with 9 units, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly during the 2023-2024 period. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water system complaints in late 2023 and late 2024, with at least eight reports between October and December 2023 alone, though many of these were closed without access being gained for inspection. A significant maintenance violation was recorded in 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements ($1,250 penalty), and there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in late 2023 that required HPD response.

The building underwent a series of inspections and received various violations in 2024, including issues with egress blockages, self-closing doors, and fire escape access in several apartments (Classes B and C violations). The property has faced challenges with pest control, as indicated by both 311 service requests and HPD violations in 2023 and 2024, including a currently open pest complaint from November 2024. A concerning incident was recorded in 2022 regarding potentially unsafe gas meter and valve conditions in apartment 2N, though this was resolved.

The building's management history shows attempts to address issues, with several violations being closed after remediation, including various building conditions related to plumbing, water supply, and sanitation. Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have consistently passed, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in February 2023. While there have been repeated maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, the building has generally responded to violations and completed necessary repairs, as evidenced by the closure of many violations following required remediation.
