621 Lenox Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10037
The 22-unit, 6-story tenement building at 621 Lenox Avenue in Harlem, owned by Roland Powell and constructed in 1910, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2024 (February, January) affecting the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access for verification.
Additional open complaints from late 2023 remain unresolved regarding various maintenance issues including pest problems, floor conditions, paint/plaster issues, electric outlets, and window frames. The building has an active violation as of September 2024 for failing to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection, with a similar unaddressed violation from June 2023 regarding the 2018 inspection. Historical records show a pattern of heating system issues, including a 2020 apartment-specific hot water complaint.
Previous Department of Buildings complaints from 2019 indicated problems with the boiler system and general maintenance failures, with some complaints being referred to HPD. Two complaints from 2023 regarding the building being vacant/open and work without permit were inspected and found to have no violations. On a positive note, the most recent bedbug report for the period between November 2023 and October 2024 shows no infestations or eradication efforts required, indicating this particular issue has not been a problem in the recent past.
