143 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

143 Lexington Avenue is a 13-story residential building located in the Kips Bay neighborhood, owned by Michael Pligavko and constructed in 2006. The building's maintenance records reveal a recurring requirement for bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024, though these violations have all been officially closed.

Interestingly, despite these violations, the bedbug reporting data from late 2025 shows no recorded infestations during the 2023-2024 reporting period, nor in the previous two years (2021-2022 and 2022-2023), suggesting effective management of this particular issue in recent times. More concerning is an active Environmental Control Board violation from March 2020 regarding the building's exterior facade maintenance, with specific issues noted including cracked and spalled brickwork on the second floor and roof areas, for which a penalty of $1,250 was imposed. This violation remains unresolved as of October 2023.

Additionally, there was a DOB violation issued in May 2021 regarding unspecified issues, though this was dismissed by December 2022 based on evidence of corrected defects. On the positive side, the building has maintained proper bedbug control protocols in recent years, as evidenced by the most recent filings in January 2025 showing no infestations during the previous reporting period, and confirmed eradication of any previously affected units. The building was also granted an exterior work permit in March 2021, suggesting some maintenance and improvements were planned or undertaken during that period.
