434 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 434 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Joseph Kalimian, has experienced several regulatory and maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are ongoing Department of Buildings violations (as of June 2023) related to the failure to file required high-pressure inspection reports for the years 2017-2019, covering both internal and external inspections.

These violations, which have not yet been resolved as of the latest available information, represent a potential safety concern regarding the building's boiler system. The building has a recorded history of heating system issues, with a heat/hot water complaint filed in January 2021 that required Department of Housing Preservation and Development intervention.

However, this particular issue was promptly addressed and closed within two days. The property has successfully maintained a pest-free environment, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two filing periods (2023-2025), and has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent results all indicating compliance (from 2019 through May 2025). A 2021 complaint regarding smoke/odor from a mobile food vendor was also handled by the NYC Health Department and closed, though this appears to be an external rather than building-specific issue.
