Augrented Insights Report for 439 Lenox Avenue

439 Lenox Avenue is a 5-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 in Harlem, currently owned by Joseph Soleimani. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2024, including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, pest infestations, and mold.

During this period, violations were specifically issued for unsanitary conditions related to pests, and multiple housing code violations were documented, including problems with a broken radiator, wall issues, and floor concerns, though many of these were subsequently closed after inspections. Notably, Apartment 5A experienced several maintenance issues that summer, including problems with electrical outlets, doors, and water leaks, all of which were addressed within a few months.

The building has shown some improvement in recent inspections, with rodent inspections in 2025 passing successfully, and the most recent external inspections in late 2024 also showing better results. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting history, with only two instances of infestation recorded between 2019 and 2021, and no reported infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024). While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding pest control and general sanitation, the current record shows improvement in rodent control measures and greater responsiveness to maintenance issues, with most recent complaints being addressed promptly, though some violations related to garbage storage and receptacle issues remain active as of late 2024.
