Augrented Insights Report for 879 Lenox Road

879 Lenox Road is a 4-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Pincus Schwimmer. The property has recently experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, with numerous complaints and violations recorded between April and June 2025, including multiple building-wide heat/hot water outages.

There have also been several plumbing-related complaints in May 2025, though HPD inspectors were often unable to complete their inspections. The building's infrastructure has shown persistent challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in December 2024, addressing water leaks, plaster damage, and refuse accumulation in common areas, along with emergency maintenance requests including unsanitary conditions and pest-related issues in June 2025.

Historical records from 2019-2020 show repeated complaints about illegal conversions, with inspectors typically unable to gain access, and a confirmed building stability complaint in 2019. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2022, experiencing both failures and successful compliance after remediation efforts, while bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate minimal infestation history, with only two units affected in the past five years. The building's owner has faced enforcement action for failure to file energy benchmarking reports in 2019, resulting in a penalty, though records show this violation was ultimately dismissed upon confirmation of submission.
