Augrented Insights Report for 473 Lenox Avenue

473 Lenox Avenue is a 5-story, 35-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Baroukh Sasousness. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints throughout 2024-2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Notably, in early 2025, there was a significant safety concern with a broken window guard, for which violations were issued.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a pest infestation incident in January 2025 and multiple unresolved violations from 2024. These include safety issues such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and defective self-closing doors in common areas and individual apartments. Additionally, there are open violations regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements from November 2023.

The building's mechanical systems have been under scrutiny, with active violations related to boiler registration and low-pressure inspection filings dating back to 2023-2024, though specific penalties associated with these violations remain unclear in the records. While recent rodent inspections have shown compliance with passing results in early 2025, there were prior rodent activity reports in 2022-2024. The property has maintained its bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations reported between 2019-2020. These records suggest ongoing maintenance and safety challenges within the building, particularly regarding heating systems, safety equipment, and building infrastructure, with some violations remaining open for extended periods.
