113 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

113 Lexington Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 113 Lex LLC. The building has experienced notable issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed through the Housing Maintenance Code regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide deficiencies. These issues resulted in several violations, though records indicate they were ultimately addressed. The property has also experienced recurring food service-related complaints, with multiple reports between 2023 and 2025 involving food safety concerns including foreign objects in food and kitchen hygiene matters, all of which were addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

In late 2024, there was a complaint about unauthorized work in a multiple dwelling, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building's maintenance record shows some infrastructure concerns, particularly in Apartment 2, where violations from an October 2022 inspection documented issues with kitchen appliances, plaster surfaces, and various infrastructure elements requiring repair and maintenance. However, more recent inspections present a mixed picture: while the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed, earlier inspections had documented occasional infestations, including a rat activity report from June 2021. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows consistently recorded periods with zero infestation, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue.

Additionally, there are several recorded inspection dates passing various health and safety checks consistently over the years, with the most recent bedbug inspection in December 2024 indicating no detected infestations during the previous reporting period. The property has undergone various inspections and faced several violations over the years, including issues with appliance functionality (particularly gas ranges), heat and hot water systems, and common area maintenance. While many of these issues have been resolved according to available records, the building's history suggests periodic maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and food service operations. The most recent data indicates improved conditions with no active infestations reported and recent rodent inspections passing, though the building's age and history suggest that ongoing maintenance attention is likely necessary.
