Augrented Insights Report for 477 Lenox Avenue

This 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 477 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Rick Gropper, has a concerning history of maintenance issues over the past year and a half. Most recently, in February 2025, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, electrical problems, and mold, with at least one lighting issue resulting in violations. These followed a pattern of similar problems from late 2024, including unsanitary conditions, multiple electrical issues, and water-related complaints.

The building has documented violations related to a refrigerator issue in December 2024, and there are persistent problems with pest control, including a roach infestation violation in apartment 2E recorded in November 2024. The property has been subject to multiple rodent control inspections between late 2023 and mid-2025, with repeated findings of rat activity and the need for bait application. Recent violations also indicate problems with security and safety features, including non-functioning door latches and missing window guards in apartment 4W, though some violations have since been certified as corrected.

An open violation from November 2024 regarding rodent infestation in apartment 2E remains noteworthy. The building's history shows periodic bedbug issues, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating one infested unit that was treated. The Department of Buildings has an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection, though this is listed as still open.
