1442 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
The 7-story, 16-unit building at 1442 Lexington Avenue, owned by Afshin Hedvat and built in 1902, has experienced a range of maintenance issues over recent years, with several significant concerns arising in 2024-2025. Most notably, there are currently three open housing maintenance violations as of June 2025, including a defective self-closing fire door on the 2nd story, broken ceramic floor tiles in apartment 2NE, and a roach infestation in the basement. The building has faced recurring water-related problems, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks documented in 2024, though these were reportedly corrected at the time of inspection.
Heating issues also occurred in December 2024 when the entire building experienced heat and hot water problems, which were also corrected according to HPD records. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with recent inspections showing variable results regarding rodent activity between 2022 and 2025, including some instances of rat activity. Multiple inspections in 2024-2025 have been required to address unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage.
The building has also faced infrastructure concerns, including issues with flooring/stairs, as documented in November 2023. The sidewalk shed has been a recurring focus of attention, with violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 regarding its maintenance and safety. Notably, there are several open violations related to the building's external low-pressure inspection filings, dating back to 2018, which remain active as of 2024-2025. These persistent maintenance and compliance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and regulatory compliance, affecting both resident comfort and building safety systems.
