430 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 430 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Brian Clarke, has been in operation since 1910 and is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" property. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most recent being a pest-related complaint in July 2023 that could not be verified during an HPD inspection.

In 2021, there were two mobile food vendor permit complaints, and a food poisoning complaint was investigated but deemed isolated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A notable violation occurred in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reporting periods (2019-2024) consistently showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has demonstrated consistent attention to rodent control, passing all inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025, including recent inspections in May 2023-2025.

While the building had an unsanitary conditions complaint related to pests in 2023, this was an isolated incident and not indicative of an ongoing infestation. The property's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows no infestations, and all housing maintenance code violations have been successfully addressed. The building's management appears to maintain regular rodent inspections and has complied with most health and safety requirements, though the inability to access the property for the 2023 HPD inspection is worth noting.
