1450 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 12-story, 41-unit building at 1450 Lexington Avenue, owned by Martin Horner and constructed in 1928, has experienced several notable incidents over the past five years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water emergency in October 2018 that resulted in an HPD inspection but no access being granted for verification. The building has maintained consistent rodent inspection passes from 2017 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest control management.

Bedbug incidents were recorded in 2017-2018 (1 unit) and 2018-2019 (3 units), but since then, no infestations have been reported in the past five years. More recent concerns include an active violation from April 2019 regarding the failure to file the FISP Cycle 8C technical report, though several elevator maintenance and emergency work permits were issued between 2018-2019, indicating ongoing maintenance activity. Two complaints were filed in 2018 (construction-related and illegal activity), but inspections conducted shortly thereafter found no violations.

The building has shown good compliance with housing maintenance codes in recent years, as evidenced by clean rodent inspection reports and active bedbug management, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing zero infested units. The property has received multiple work permits throughout 2018-2019, suggesting regular maintenance and improvements are being conducted. The combined records indicate that while there have been some maintenance issues in the past, particularly regarding heating systems and occasional pest problems, the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety requirements, with recent years showing improved stability in pest management and rodent control.
