889 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

889 Lexington Avenue, a 12-story New Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, was constructed in 1906 and contains 44 units. The building has demonstrated satisfactory management of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the past six annual filings from 2019-2024. Similarly, the property has maintained a consistent record of rodent control success, passing all nine inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019.

Recent building safety and maintenance records show regular compliance with local law requirements; notable events include three tenant safety inspections in 2021-2022 and a Local Law Audit in 2024, all of which found no violations. The building experienced some regulatory challenges in 2020-2023, particularly regarding improper construction work. In December 2020, there were complaints and subsequent violations concerning unpermitted interior alterations involving the removal of party walls between multiple units, for which the building was fined $1,250.

More recently, there have been two active violations related to the failure to display energy efficiency scores (2021) and to file a 2022 external low-pressure inspection (2023), though these issues appear to be administrative in nature. The building has maintained proper permit documentation for various repairs and improvements, with multiple permits issued throughout 2019 for electrical and plumbing work. While there were several Department of Buildings violations issued in 2020-2021, most were resolved through appropriate inspections and remedial actions, including multiple elevator-related violations that were resolved through certification by Century Elevator.
