255 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

The four-story, three-unit building at 255 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Carilon Kosins and constructed in 1886, has experienced consistent regulatory scrutiny over the past several years. The most pressing concern appears to be the recurring failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024.

These violations, while administrative in nature, indicate ongoing challenges with compliance to housing maintenance requirements. In terms of rodent control, the building has shown both progress and setbacks. Of particular note is the building's recent performance, with successful passed inspections in every rodent inspection from 2024 through July 2025, suggesting recent improvements in pest management.

However, there were significant rodent activity incidents in early 2023, specifically in January and compliance inspection in July, which stand in contrast to the more recent successful inspections. The building appears to have maintained a generally stable rodent control record since 2019, with the majority of inspections resulting in passing grades, though the two 2023 incidents indicate a possible outbreak period that required remediation. While the building's age and location in Harlem have naturally presented maintenance challenges, the property's recent inspection results suggest attention to regulatory compliance, particularly in pest control management, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations remain an unresolved issue as of the latest available data.
