1018 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1018 Lexington Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in the Upper East Side, owned by John Mccarthy and constructed in 1881. The building has experienced several significant events over the past decade, most notably in 2022 when illegal alterations were discovered on the second floor, including unauthorized partition walls creating multiple rooms and new plumbing installations, leading to violations for both work without a permit and illegal commercial use in a residential district.

The property has maintained an excellent record of pest control, with zero reported instances of bedbugs across multiple annual reports from 2019 to 2024, all of which show 0 infested units. Regular rodent inspections have also consistently passed since 2010, indicating effective pest management. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning incidents, including a plumbing water supply complaint in 2022 that closed without inspection access.

Prior to that, in 2021 and 2022, the building received violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though this issue appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings show no infestations. The property has seen regular upkeep with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various work types, including electrical and plumbing improvements. While the illegal conversion and plumbing issues in 2022 raise some red flags about building maintenance practices, the property's overall record shows proactive pest management and regular maintenance compliance in most areas.
