826 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

826 Lexington Avenue is an 11-story, 65-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1928 and currently owned by John O'Sullivan. The building has undergone regular inspections and permit filings typical for its age and size, with the most recent permits issued in 2023 and 2024 indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts. The building has maintained a good track record with regards to major pest issues, as evidenced by consistent reports of zero bedbug infestations since 2019 and passed rodent inspections in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, though there were three rat sighting complaints in 2021 that were investigated and resulted in no violations being found.

The property has experienced some significant incidents requiring attention to building systems and safety protocols. Notably, there was a heat and hot water outage in May 2020 that affected the entire building, though this was reportedly resolved within days. In 2021, the building received Oath violations for failure to post/distribute tenant protection notices, resulting in penalties that were subsequently resolved.

Recent compliance activities include multiple tenant safety inspections between 2021 and 2023, all of which found no violations at the time of inspection, and the building's recent inspection history shows consistent effort to address any emerging issues. Three violations related to "Work Without Permits" and "Sidewalk Shed/Inadequate/Defect" were documented in 2023 and 2024, with the July 2023 violation resulting in a $2400 penalty, while two others were dismissed. The elevator system has had some documented compliance issues in the past, particularly in 2019, though these were eventually resolved.
