371 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

371 Lenox Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Harlem, owned by Mark Hardesty and constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The building experienced several maintenance issues in May 2022, including violations related to unsanitary garbage storage, problems with stairs, and sprinkler system concerns, though not all resulted in violations upon inspection.

These incidents led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued in June 2022, including problems with garbage receptacles, improper storage of items in public areas, and various safety notice requirements. The building's staircase reportedly had a defective wood tread that required repair, though this appears to have been addressed as it was certified in May 2022. Since then, the building has demonstrated improved maintenance practices, as evidenced by regular rodent inspections all passing from 2017 through 2025, and a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in the most recent three reporting periods from 2022 to 2024, with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showed no affected units. The property appears to be currently maintaining good overall hygiene and pest control standards, with all recent rodent inspections passing. The building's record shows consistent attention to addressing violations when they occur, with most being certified as corrected through proper channels, though some violations did take longer to address than others.
