100 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 17-unit, 5-story building at 100 Lexington Avenue in Midtown, constructed in 1930 and owned by David Shemel, is currently facing several significant maintenance and safety issues as of July 2025. Most pressing are two active violations issued on May 14, 2025, regarding the building's facade condition, with notes of multiple step cracks throughout the top floor and missing mortar joints, requiring approximately 95 linear feet of sidewalk shed installation for public safety.
The building has experienced structural concerns recently, with complaints of shaking/vibrating in July 2024 and May 2025, though one was closed with no violations found. Recent inspection and complaint records from 2025 show multiple unresolved issues, including problems with the wall paint/plaster, an electric/gas range, and a smoke detector as of May 2025. Between April and May 2025, the building has documented violations related to heat/water, walls/ceilings, and multiple safety concerns including smoke detector issues.
Historically, the building has had recurring problems with building systems and safety equipment, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2022-2025 concerning smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing issues, particularly in apartment 4D. While bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 show no infestations, rodent inspections in 2019 indicated rat activity, though prior inspections from 2010-2012 had passed. A permit application from 2018 remains listed as "in process" in the Department of Buildings records.
