Augrented Insights Report for 103 Lenox Avenue

This 6-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building located at 103 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by James Simari and built in 1920, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been recurring water-related infrastructure problems, with the most recent complaint about a water leak and damp spot logged in December 2024 and closed in April 2025. The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 showing consistent rat presence.

Recent maintenance violations include a September 2024 finding (Class A) regarding broken plastered surfaces in the foyer of unit 6E, and previous safety concerns about defective fire escape ladders in January 2023. The property has undergone several housing maintenance code inspections and repairs, including multiple plumbing, electrical, and interior surface maintenance issues documented in 2024, such as problems with toilets, basins/sinks, ceilings, floors, and wall surfaces. The building's elevator system has been the subject of attention, with violations related to inspection filings noted in 2019-2023.

Compliance inspections for Local Law 188/17 were conducted in 2024, with at least one active complaint as of September 2024. Importantly, the building has demonstrated effective pest management regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five years. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations promptly, though some recurring issues, particularly regarding water damage and pest activity, persist.
