1388 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

At 1388 Lexington Avenue, an Upper East Side apartment building owned by Paula Stelzner, significant recent concerns include an unresolved violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of the latest records. The building, constructed in 1872 and containing 8 units over 4 stories, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving violations in 2021 and 2022 for not filing the required annual reports, though subsequent reports from 2022 through 2025 show no rodent activity reported in the units during the filing periods.

While the most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 and the previous three reports indicate no infested or eradicated units, the building has had consistent rat activity monitoring, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing rat activity, though this was an initial inspection and not necessarily indicative of an ongoing infestation. The building's historical records show a generally good track record in most areas, with regular rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025, passing all except the most recent inspection which noted rat activity.

Two permits were issued in July and August 2020 for the same job (job number 140920038) under the EW category. The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting since the initial violations, consistently showing zero infested units in recent filings, though the failure to resolve the 2020 external low-pressure inspection violation remains a notable concern as of the most recent data available.
