1435 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1435 Lexington Avenue is a 70-unit, 12-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 on Manhattan's Upper East Side, currently owned by Jillian Salgado. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with active violations related to the failure to file mandatory External Low Pressure Inspection reports (2018 and 2019) and a bedbug reporting violation from 2023. Recently, there has been a concerning rat activity report from May 2025, though previous rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024 had all passed.

The building has had multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work, with the most recent in December 2024 being referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Between 2021 and 2023, there were several violations and compliance issues involving construction equipment and scaffold safety, including an expired sidewalk shed permit in 2021. The building's bedbug reporting history shows generally low infestations, with only one reported case in 2021, and recent annual reports (2022-2024) indicating no current infestations.

Housing Maintenance Code violations include an open gas supply issue from 2008 affecting an apartment on the first floor. While multiple permits have been issued for various work between 2019 and 2020, including at least six separate permits for elevator-related work, and two specific permits in March 2020 and December 2019, the building has also faced challenges in meeting inspection deadlines. The most recent violation activity suggests some difficulty in maintaining compliance with inspection requirements, though many previous violations have been resolved or dismissed, indicating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
