1289 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 18-story residential building at 1289 Lexington Avenue, owned by Chris Ferlisi, was constructed in 2018 and contains 61 units. Since its completion, the building has experienced several notable issues, primarily between 2019-2022, involving construction safety concerns and elevator problems. There were multiple complaints regarding scaffold conditions in 2019, including one instance of a stop work order being issued but then fully rescinded.

Elevator-related complaints were recorded in 2019-2021, though inspections found no violations. The building faced administrative violations between 2021-2023, primarily related to failure to file required reports, including benchmarking reports and external low pressure inspections, though these violations were subsequently dismissed. Recent activity regarding the building has been relatively minimal, with no reported pest issues or bedbug infestations recorded for the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023).

The most recent concern involved a food establishment complaint in 2025, which was resolved by the NYC Health Department. The building's management has generally addressed violations when identified, as evidenced by the resolution of various administrative issues through filing appropriate documentation and paying necessary fees. The bedbug reporting shows consistent compliance, with no units reported as infested or requiring treatment in the past three years, suggesting effective pest management practices are in place.
