316 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 5-story, 9-unit building at 316 Lexington Avenue in Murray Hill, owned by Joseph Vassallo and built in 1910, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems reported in September and November 2023, with HPD unable to gain access to inspect the apartments. The building is currently facing open violations from April 2024 regarding an untimely bedbug report filing requirement, though historical records show consistent compliance with no reported infestations.
There are also recent safety concerns with loose balusters on the 3rd and 4th story stairs, identified in November 2023 and subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, including a 2020 door-related complaint and the aforementioned heating complaints. The property has received multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding its basement use, with active ECB violations from 2021-2022 relating to unauthorized physical treatment establishment/massage parlor use ("Four Seasons Body Work") and unpermitted construction work.
There are also outstanding DOB violations for failing to file annual inspection reports for both low pressure and boiler systems from 2018 and 2019 respectively. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, passing all eight rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2025. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, the property has shown responsiveness to violations when conditions are documented, though access issues during inspections remain a persistent pattern.
