866 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The four-story, four-unit building at 866 Lexington Avenue, owned by Manny Rivera, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with three heat/hot water complaints filed in the last twelve months (November 2024, November 2023, and February 2023). The most recent complaint in November 2024 reported building-wide heating problems, which inspectors were unable to verify due to access issues. A notable violation was recorded in February 2023 regarding a door hold-open device at the building entrance that was preventing proper self-closing.

The building had several emergency heating system complaints in 2022-2023, and the boiler room conditions prompted an Environmental Control Board violation in late 2021, resulting in a $625 penalty for various infrastructure issues including improper piping and temperature controls. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, submitting seven consecutive reports from 2018 through 2024 with zero cases of infestation or eradication needed. Rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019 show mostly passing results, with one instance of rat activity noted in September 2017.

The building's maintenance history includes multiple permit issuances for various work types between 2020 and 2023, with the most recent permits issued in January 2023 for electrical and general alteration work. The Department of Buildings records from 2019-2021 show attention to various maintenance needs, though several complaints regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2022 suggest occasional administrative oversights in paperwork submission. While the building has faced some infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heat maintenance, the overall health and maintenance records indicate active management of pest issues and routine building upkeep.
