329 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

329 Lenox Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Mike Ma. The building has experienced several maintenance and pest control issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a DOHMH complaint regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues at a food establishment near the building.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025, showing variable results with late 2024 showing either rat activity or failing inspections for "Other Reasons". While the building has maintained bedbug-free status in its last three annual reports (2021-2023), there have been active violations regarding the timely filing of annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code Section A. The building has faced several infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including water leak complaints in 2019 (both heavy flow) and various housing maintenance code violations from late 2019 regarding doors/windows, unsanitary garbage storage, and missing signage.

A notable 2024 violation from the Department of Buildings concerns three encumbered garbage cans in the 1st story public hall, classified as a Class B violation. There have been issues with illegal vent/exhaust systems (2022) and sidewalk shed defects (2024), though these were resolved or referred to appropriate departments. The most recent rodent inspection results from mid-2025 have shown passing results, providing some reassurance regarding current pest control efforts.
