Augrented Insights Report for 261 Lexington Avenue

261 Lexington Avenue is a 12-story, 148-unit residential building constructed in 1940 in the Murray Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Fred Enrico. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent problems occurring in September 2024, when HPD received complaints about water leaks and mold in apartment 10F, leading to violations requiring repairs to the bathroom ceiling and various wall surfaces.

The building's maintenance history also includes a pest infestation complaint in 2022, a gas range issue in 2020, and a 2019 violation regarding exterior lighting. While the building has maintained an active rodent inspection record with consistent passing results since 2016, there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2016. The Department of Buildings has recorded several violations over the years, including a recently resolved issue regarding the failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report in 2024, though this violation was subsequently dismissed.

The building has demonstrated good pest control measures, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2018-2025). Meanwhile, recent inspections of three separate complaints (2024) found no violations warranted, suggesting some responsiveness to tenant concerns. The property currently holds no active bedbug or rodent infestation cases, indicating effective ongoing maintenance in these areas, though the presence of recent water-related issues suggests some continuing challenges with building infrastructure.
