Augrented Insights Report for 171 Lexington Avenue

171 Lexington Avenue, a 12-story residential building constructed in 2002, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and electrical infrastructure. Most recently, in December 2024, the building experienced multiple heat/hot water issues and a power outage, prompting emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These represent the latest in a pattern of heating system problems, with similar complaints recorded in September and November 2023, as well as throughout 2024.

The building has also faced issues with indoor air quality, including a chemical vapors complaint in October 2024, and unsanitary conditions, with multiple reports of mold in May 2023 and pigeon waste issues in early 2024. The building's safety systems have required attention, with violations recorded in January 2023 for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 204, and earlier issues with door and window security in Apartment 801 noted in May 2023. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing no infestations from 2019 through 2025, there were multiple reports of pest issues in various apartments between 2018 and 2021. The Department of Buildings has documented several elevator-related service complaints between 2018 and 2021, though inspections typically found no violations.

Most recently, an active violation was issued in December 2024 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. The building's recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, indicating improved conditions compared to earlier findings in 2021 showing rat activity. While many past violations have been resolved or dismissed, the pattern of heating system issues throughout 2023-2024, and the recent air quality complaint, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety. The building has maintained regular bedbug documentation requirements, consistently reporting zero affected units since 2020.
