Augrented Insights Report for 137 Lexington Avenue

137 Lexington Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Kips Bay, currently owned by Richard Truong and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and March 2024 regarding lack of heat/hot water throughout the entire building or in individual apartments. These complaints often resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to units for inspection.

The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including heating system problems, water leaks (with both slow and heavy flow issues documented in March 2023), and some sanitary concerns related to mold in early 2023. Several violations were issued in 2023 requiring attention to safety features and maintenance standards, including requirements to properly maintain fire retardant materials, update paint in public areas, and ensure proper posting of safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detection, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about radiator problems between 2023-2024.

The property has undergone various inspections and received several environmental control board violations, including maintenance issues involving laundry exhaust ducts and exterior elements. However, the building has maintained a good record regarding pest management, with annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024 showing no infested units, and the most recent rodent inspection in 2025 passing successfully. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating and water systems, the owner has addressed various violations as evidenced by the issuance of permits and certification of corrections, though there have been instances of inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. Recent rodent inspection results indicate effective pest control measures in place, and the building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent monitoring and management of potential infestations.
