1202 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1202 Lexington Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1918 and currently owned by Martin Scharf. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, the most recent being an open complaint from May 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, which remains unresolved as of current records.

In 2018, multiple violations were documented in apartment D2, including water leak issues, defective plaster and paint on the ceiling, and problems with the intercom system, though these violations have remained open without certification of correction. A November 2019 complaint about falling debris was investigated but no violation was found at that time.

The building's pest management history shows relatively few issues, with only one documented instance of bedbug infestation in late 2020 (with successful eradication), and no reported infestations in subsequent years from 2021 through 2024. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with successful results recorded in all inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019, suggesting effective pest control measures have been maintained in this area. While the building's overall condition shows some persistent maintenance issues, particularly from the 2018 violations and the recent garbage storage complaint, the relatively clean pest control record and consistent rodent inspection compliance provide some assurance of general building maintenance standards.
