790 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

790 Lexington Avenue is a four-story, four-unit residential building located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Barbara Kail. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly in early 2019 when multiple complaints were filed between January and February, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While inspections typically showed no violations or confirmed restoration of services, these repeated outages indicate a potentially persistent maintenance challenge. More recently, in 2023, several open violations were documented following a November inspection, including problems with the roof (causing leaks), fire retardant material in the fourth-story public hall, and a wrought iron gate at the roof stair bulkhead. Compliance issues were also noted regarding building maintenance standards, such as the need for proper painting, removal of encumbrances, and sprinkler system testing equipment.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2022, with no documented infestations or eradications in recent filings, suggesting effective pest management practices. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2010 through 2023, indicating good vermin control. The property has also demonstrated responsiveness to Housing Maintenance Code requirements, as evidenced by timely filing of bedbug reports and prompt attention to violation notices, though several open violations from 2021 regarding various maintenance issues remain on record as of October 2023.
