1104 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The six-story, 10-unit building at 1104 Lexington Avenue, owned by William Friedland, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are current open complaints with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) regarding food establishment conditions, including rodent/insect/garbage issues reported in June 2025, and past complaints about dishwashing/utensils (May 2025) and food poisoning (March 2024).

The building has also faced consistent water-related challenges, with standing water complaints still in progress as of June 2022, and similar issues recorded in July 2023, though inspections have generally found no violations. The property underwent a recent violation in June 2023 for failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspection documentation, which was dismissed in January 2025.

While the building has maintained a zero-infested status in its bedbug reports from 2021-2024, and passed most rodent inspections between 2011-2019, there have been periodic concerns about garbage/recycling storage, with one such complaint taking over a year to resolve between November 2021 and January 2023. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple permits were issued for various work, including emergency and alteration permits, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts. The building appears to be regularly monitored for various health and safety compliance issues, with inspections generally resulting in either no violations or referral to other agencies.
