1349 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1349 Lexington Avenue is an 11-story, 68-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Gina Fazzalaro. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past five years, with multiple DOHMH complaints between 2020-2022 regarding rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. While one complaint in January 2021 resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections, subsequent inspections (including as recently as May 2025) have consistently passed, suggesting improvements in pest control.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past eight reporting periods (2018-2024), with zero reported infestations or re-infestations. The property has undergone several construction and maintenance projects, with multiple permits issued consistently from 2019-2021, primarily for plumbing and electrical work. Notably, there were six separate Department of Buildings complaints in 2021 regarding potential work without permits and illegal after-hours work; however, all these complaints were resolved with no violations found upon inspection.

The building has had two significant violations in recent years: a failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report in February 2023 and a failure to submit the Benchmarking Report of Energy Use in August 2022. Both violations were ultimately dismissed after resolution. The property's inspection history indicates generally good maintenance standards, with all recent inspections passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in January 2021.
