803 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

803 Lexington Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Cynthia Shakos. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in 2022-2025, with multiple emergency complaints indicating problems throughout the entire building and in individual apartments. More concerning was the cluster of complaints in December 2024, including reports of heavy water leaks, radiator issues, mold (unsanitary condition), and plumbing problems, all of which resulted in emergency response but for which HPD was unable to complete inspections.

A rodent sighting was reported in late 2023, though previous regular inspections from 2011-2019 had generally passed, with some minor issues noted in 2017. The building has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with no documented infestations or eradications between 2019-2025, and it recently filed its 2024 report showing no affected units. Two bedbug-related violations were recorded in 2022 and 2024 regarding annual report filing, though these appear to have been resolved.

The Department of Buildings recorded one complaint in 2021 regarding work without a permit, but access could not be gained for inspection. The property has relatively few documented maintenance violations, consistent with the building's age, though the pattern of heating system issues over several years suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. Recent permits were issued in 2018 and 2020, though specific details about the work performed under these permits are not provided in the summary data.
