Augrented Insights Report for 389 Lenox Avenue

389 Lenox Avenue, a 5-story, 22-unit Harlem tenement built in 1905, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water system failures, with emergency complaints filed in January 2024 and February 2023, though some issues were reported as resolved. The property has current open violations from July 2024, noting pest infestations, including cockroaches in Apartment 1, and requiring window safety improvements in Apartments 9 and 12.

Recent inspections from February 2023 identified various maintenance needs, including issues with windows, radiators, flooring, and mold. The building's management has accumulated several active Department of Buildings violations for failing to file required annual low-pressure external inspections between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. There was also a food establishment-related service request in December 2024 concerning pests.

The building experienced a clear rodent infestation problem in 2014, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and bait application. A recent bedbug report for the period 2022-2023 indicated four units were infested but all were successfully treated. The property's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services and pest control, despite some improvements being documented through various service requests and inspections.
