67 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10026

67 Lenox Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Chad Jewell. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic utilities in 2025, including multiple heat/hot water complaints (both for apartments and the entire building), several plumbing-related problems involving water supply and toilet issues, all resulting in HPD inspections. More seriously, in late 2024, the building was found to have unsanitary conditions involving both mold and pest violations, with HPD issuing violations that required the property owner to correct these conditions.

Apartment 4A has been the primary focus of maintenance issues, with multiple violations documented in 2024-2025 regarding mold, water leaks, pest infestations, and various repair needs including ceiling and wall maintenance. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to rodent control, with multiple passed inspections between 2022 and 2025, though there were also periods requiring bait application. While there have been no bedbug infestations recorded since 2019, the property has two active DOB violations as of 2024 related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2022 and 2023.

Recent complaints in 2025 have shown challenges with HPD inspectors gaining access to conduct necessary evaluations, particularly regarding plumbing issues. The building has undergone several maintenance inspections and repairs, including a permitted work job filed in May 2019. While some violations have been closed through remediation, there remain open violations related to mold, paint, and pest control in unit 4A, highlighting ongoing building maintenance challenges.
