Augrented Insights Report for 561 Lenox Avenue

561 Lenox Avenue is a 6-story, 68-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Shamsy Baradarian. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024-2025 including multiple heat/hot water complaints (October 2024 and December 2024) affecting the entire building, unsanitary conditions, and various maintenance violations. In June 2025, several new complaints were filed regarding cabinet issues, wall and ceiling paint/plaster problems, and pest-related concerns.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple violations in Apartment 41B (September 2024) and Apartment 29 (January 2024) regarding leaks affecting ceilings, walls, and floors. Additionally, there have been consistent rodent activity reports, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing recurring rat presence and pest control measures being implemented. The property has also faced elevator service complaints, though inspections in 2024-2025 found no violations warranting action. The building's maintenance history includes documented bedbug infestations between 2019-2022, though recent reports (2022-2024) show no active infestations.

Notable violations from the Department of Buildings include a 2022 inspection that found improper gas line usage in the cellar area, which resulted in a $1,280 penalty, though this violation was later resolved. The property has also experienced floor and ceiling maintenance issues, with violations issued for defective surfaces and paint problems in multiple apartments. Building systems such as electrical wiring and plumbing have been subjects of complaints, though inspections generally found no violations warranting action. Recent 311 complaints have addressed various building conditions, including sanitary issues and interior maintenance needs, with some complaints being investigated but found not to violate housing laws.
