Augrented Insights Report for 1490 Lexington Avenue

1490 Lexington Avenue is a 22-story, 211-unit residential building constructed in 2002, currently owned by Cornelius Sigety. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably a series of cooking gas-related complaints throughout 2024, with multiple emergency service requests and inspection attempts between September and November 2024.

There were two significant violations issued in November 2024 regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 4D, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building has a notable history of pest management challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in multiple units between 2019 and 2021, though more recent records from 2021 through 2024 show no reported infestations. The property has faced various maintenance and safety concerns over the years, including elevator-related issues (with violations noted in 2019 and 2020), one serious structure-related complaint regarding a commercial storefront in 2022, and multiple heating/hot water complaints.

Compliance inspections for rodent activity show mixed results, with several passed inspections between 2022 and 2025, though there were failures noted in 2023 and early 2024. Recent work has been permitted through various permits issued in 2018-2019, and the building maintains regular inspections for pest management, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing improved conditions. The frequency of 311 complaints and the need for multiple inspection attempts suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident communication, particularly regarding gas-related issues.
