Augrented Insights Report for 175 Lexington Avenue

175 Lexington Avenue is a 19-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Mark Scharfman and located in the Kips Bay neighborhood. The building has experienced recurrent heat and hot water issues, with three complaints documented between 2022 and 2025, the most recent being an emergency report from February 2025 that was closed due to lack of access for inspection. There are also ongoing ceiling plaster and paint issues reported in January 2025 that remain unresolved.

The building has faced persistent problems with pest control, including a closed complaint from 2023 regarding pests and documented rodent activity in multiple inspections between 2018 and 2025, though the most recent April 2025 rodent inspection passed. Recent structural concerns include an active environmental violation from 2024 regarding cracked and spalling facade stone between the 2nd and 7th floors, with a penalty of $2,530. The building's elevator system has been a recurring focus of complaints, with multiple reports of "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent complaint from June 2025 still active.

The property has also had issues with building safety features, including violations related to self-closing doors, fire escape egress obstruction, and building signage requirements. While there have been periodic violations and maintenance issues, many historical violations have been resolved, including those related to garbage/recycling storage and plumbing systems. The building's maintenance history shows a mixed pattern of responsiveness to complaints, with some issues being addressed and others remaining persistent over time.
