Augrented Insights Report for 239 Lenox Avenue

The four-story, six-unit building at 239 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Jagdeep Deol and built in 1884, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, with particular concerns about building maintenance and safety standards. Most notably, an April 2024 inspection revealed multiple safety violations including inadequate signage related to smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection, and emergency procedures, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in July 2024. The building has been cited for illegal alterations, particularly regarding unauthorized conversions of B-rooms to Class "A" apartments, with associated fines of $3,125 for one of the violations.

Between 2020 and 2023, there were recurring issues with garbage and recycling storage leading to multiple sanitary complaints, though inspections found no violations. A notable pattern of rodent activity was recorded in 2022-2023, with three instances of rat activity noted in 2022, one in 2023, and a "failed for other reasons" inspection in May 2023, though more recent 2024-2025 inspections have passed. The building has a historical record of various maintenance issues, including a December 2021 violation for defective boiler conditions and several complaints about sidewalk sheds/scaffolding in 2021-2022.

Multiple Department of Buildings violations and ECB violations from 2021-2024 suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance, though many of these violations were subsequently dismissed or resolved. Recent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control, with the building passing inspections in 2024-2025, and no bedbug infestations have been reported in the most recent filing period (2022-2023). The property has undergone various renovation attempts, with permits issued in 2019 and 2022, though some related inspections noted access issues.
