560 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037

560 Lenox Avenue, a six-story, New Law Tenement building built in 1940 and currently owned by Heidy Lopez, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and February 2025, including both apartment-specific and building-wide outages. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 6A, where seven Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in April 2024, including issues with floors, walls, windows, and various fixtures, with many of these violations remaining open.

Additionally, there are three active Environmental Control Board violations related to the building's exterior, including a failure to properly maintain the facade and submit required examination reports, with associated penalties. The building's infrastructure, particularly the elevator system, has been a consistent source of concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2019 and 2021 regarding multiple devices and safety features.

While there have been some improvements, such as passing recent rodent inspections and showing successful bedbug eradication in three units over the past three reporting periods, the building continues to grapple with persistent maintenance issues. The property has demonstrated some pattern of responding to violations and complaints, as evidenced by multiple issued permits for various work types between 2018 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair efforts.
