1012 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1012 Lexington Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1881 and currently owned by Thomas Grabski. The property has experienced several notable events over recent years, with particular attention needed for the period from late 2023 to 2025. The building is currently facing active violations as of March 2025, related to failure to maintain building conditions, with observed issues including cracked spalling brick and a vertical crack at the first floor.

The building has undergone significant construction work in recent years, leading to multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding sidewalk shed and scaffold conditions between 2023-2024, with several resulting in Oath violations served. Two ECB violations from April 2024 were issued to ATLAS CONSTRUCTION OF NY, including one for an unsupported sidewalk shed and another for maintenance issues, with penalties totaling $3,650. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems, with two heat/hot water complaints in early 2021 that were resolved.

While there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2022, these appear to have been resolved, and subsequent bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 indicate no infestations or treatments required. The property has maintained a good track record with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2019. Recent permit activity shows ongoing work at the property, with multiple permits being issued between 2018 and 2024, including several electrical work permits in 2023-2024. Despite the recent building violations and construction-related issues, the property has generally complied with major health and safety requirements, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections and maintaining bedbug-free status according to the most recent reports.
