1091 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

1091 Lexington Avenue is a 16-story, 95-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Bessie Giannopulos. The building has experienced several notable events in recent years, with particular attention needed on construction activity and structural safety issues. In 2025, there were four construction safety compliance actions taken, with one resulting in an Oath Violation and another having a Stop Work Order fully rescinded.

Additionally, a 2024 façade safety notification under LL11/98 indicates potential structural concerns requiring monitoring. The building has had multiple complaints regarding food vendor activities in the vicinity, with the most recent being a food poisoning complaint in May 2025 that remains under investigation. There was also a significant plumbing issue reported in October 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The property has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices, maintaining a clean record of bedbug reports with zero infestations reported from 2019 to 2024, and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2010 to 2019. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2025 found no violations for building shaking, vibrating, or structural stability complaints, though there are several active and resolved violations from previous years related to exterior maintenance and safety compliance. The building has had multiple permits issued for various works between 2019 and 2021, suggesting regular maintenance and compliance with city requirements, though the recent façade unsafe notification and construction-related violations may warrant continued monitoring.
