663 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022

663 Lexington Avenue is a 5-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1920 and currently owned by Evans Cyprus. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most notably in January 2021 when a complaint was filed regarding lack of these services throughout the entire building.

Interestingly, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the building at that time. More recently, there have been significant concerns regarding pest control compliance, with open violations from 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code regulations.

The building has also had multiple food-related incidents in 2018, including complaints about food contamination, food poisoning, and unpleasant odors from food establishments, all of which were addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, there was a rat activity finding during an initial inspection in January 2025, marking a rare instance of pest concerns for this typically well-maintained vintage building. The property has maintained a generally positive compliance record for rodent inspections since 2010, with only two recent violations standing out as notable exceptions to the building's otherwise stable history.
