164 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

164 Lexington Avenue is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Simon Fouladian. The building has experienced several significant events over the past five years, with the most critical being safety-related incidents.

These include a 2020 complaint regarding blocked egress (which required inspectors to attempt access twice), a 2019 demolition-related complaint (which resulted in a Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded), and an Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 concerning improper temporary shoring in the cellar that required correction. More recently, in mid-2023, three separate violations were issued for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020-2022; however, these violations were all dismissed by August 2024. The building has maintained a consistent record of addressing pest control matters, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual inspections from 2019 through 2025.

Historical records from 2014-2010 show some rat activity (2014) and passed inspections (2012-2010) for rodent presence. Various permits have been issued for work at the property between 2019 and 2021, primarily related to emergency and general maintenance, with the most recent permits issued in March 2021 and February 2020. While the building has had its share of violations and complaints, many were resolved or dismissed, and the property appears to be maintaining compliance with recent operational requirements, as evidenced by the absence of current bedbug issues and active rodent control measures.
