172 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

172 Lexington Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Midtown, Manhattan, owned by Color Lo Young and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with two separate complaints in early 2023: one affecting the entire building in January and another targeted at a single apartment in March.

While these complaints were officially closed, the January complaint notably lacked proper access for inspection. The building has been under scrutiny for non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in multiple successive years (2021-2024), indicating that the proper annual reports may not have been filed as mandated by HPD regulations.

More recently, in June 2023, the Department of Buildings issued violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2019, which remain active as of the current date. The building's maintenance history shows relatively good rodent control, with inspections conducted in 2010, 2011, and 2012 all passing without concerns. While the property is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," the combination of heating system issues, bedbug reporting non-compliance, and outstanding building violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that could impact resident quality of life.
