517 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10017

The 24-story, 2008 Midtown skyscraper at 517 Lexington Avenue, owned by Bart Mehta, has experienced several notable events in its relatively short history. Most concerning is the presence of four active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from June 2021, for which specific details are not provided in the records. The building has had recurring issues with elevator maintenance and compliance, particularly in 2019 when violations were issued for failing to correct defects identified in a 2017 CAT 1 inspection, though these were eventually dismissed in March 2020.

More recently, in 2024, the building received a violation for failing to submit an Energy Efficiency Report (EER) in 2023, which was dismissed in January 2025. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2021-2022) showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The property's historical compliance issues include a failure to display the required energy efficiency score and grade in 2023, though this violation was dismissed in late 2023.

While there was one DOB complaint in 2022 regarding maintenance issues, this was investigated and found to have no violations warranting actions. The building's relatively modern infrastructure and recent construction date suggests that while there have been compliance issues, the nature of these violations appears to be more administrative and procedural rather than structural or safety-related, though the pending status of multiple 2021 violations warrants attention. The property's location in Midtown and its classification as a "Class B" building type suggests it is designed for residential use, though the exact unit count is listed as zero in the provided data.
