1460 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1460 Lexington Avenue is a 34-story residential building located in the Upper East Side, currently owned by Michael Friedlander. The 1878 structure, which has been converted to Class A residential status and contains 3 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are persistent open violations related to annual bedbug report filings for 2021-2024, indicating potential challenges with compliance and pest management.

The building has also accrued multiple violations regarding external low pressure inspection filings between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 remaining active. The property has a documented history of construction-related concerns, particularly during 2018-2019, including multiple complaints about work without proper permits, construction contrary to approved plans, and failure to maintain building safety requirements. Several Department of Buildings violations were issued during this period, resulting in penalties totaling over $20,000, though many of these were later resolved or dismissed.

Recent health and safety inspections have generally been passed, including rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 to 2025, though there are ongoing food establishment-related complaints in 2025, including an active complaint about bare hands in contact with food. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding timely filing of required inspections and annual reports. While recent inspections have generally passed, the persistent nature of some violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and pressure inspection filings, suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
