855 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 4-story, single-unit building at 855 Lexington Avenue, located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, is an 1881 structure currently owned by Ilores Stjean. The property has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and April 2023 regarding building-wide heat/hot water problems. While some of these complaints were ultimately resolved after HPD inspections, access issues prevented inspections in at least two instances.

The building has maintained an active Bedbug Reporting record from 2019-2024, showing consistent reporting periods with zero infestation or eradication cases reported across all filings. Regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019 have consistently passed, indicating good pest management. The property underwent some construction work in 2020 that resulted in a violation regarding conformity to approved construction documents, with a penalty of $625, though this appears to have been resolved. Prior to this, in 2022, there was an A-class violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this was later closed.

Several permits were issued between 2018-2020 for various work, including emergency work in 2018 and 2019-2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the historic structure. An impressive series of passed rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019 suggests effective pest management practices have been consistently maintained. Additionally, while there were ventilation system complaints in 2023, no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular attention to both emergency and non-emergency issues, with most complaints being addressed and closed, though the recurring nature of heat and water supply issues in recent years is notable.
