1328 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1328 Lexington Avenue is a 54-unit, 6-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Aaron Sirulnick and constructed in 1936. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple building-wide complaints registered in March and April, though some complaints were duplicates, and at least one was confirmed as resolved upon HPD inspection. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including active ECB violations from 2022 related to inadequate maintenance of sprinkler heads and gas pipes in the cellar and gas meter room, with associated penalties of $2,500.

The building's infrastructure has shown some inconsistencies, with multiple HPD complaints between 2024-2025 regarding heating systems and a 2024 indoor air quality issue related to construction dust. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple permits between 2018-2022 for various maintenance and improvement projects, including plumbing and electrical work. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, there have been persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" in 2023-2025.

The DOB records indicate some regulatory challenges, including failure to timely certify corrections of immediately hazardous violations in 2020-2021, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building's management has made efforts to address various infrastructure issues over the years, as evidenced by multiple work permits and the resolution of several complaints through inspection verification. Despite these challenges, the property shows a pattern of responsive maintenance, with most service requests being closed after inspection or verification of correction.
