1501 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
1501 Lexington Avenue, a 12-story, 160-unit Class A building located in East Harlem and owned by Avi Schron, has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints in the past three years, including two recent emergency complaints in October 2024 and October 2023 where inspectors could not gain access to verify the reported problems. The building has also faced electrical challenges, with a power outage incident in October 2022 requiring HPD inspection, and safety concerns regarding fire escapes documented in the same month.
Three recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 show a pattern of rat activity, with reports of bait application in early 2023 and a "Rat Activity" finding in July 2024, though the most recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The building's maintenance history includes various other incidents such as missing signage (October 2022) and Day Care facility complaints investigated by DOHMH in 2022 and 2024.
Environmental compliance issues were noted in 2019 regarding both the exterior wall examination report and energy benchmarking report requirements, though these violations were resolved with no penalties. The property has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting from 2018 through 2024, with most recent filings (2023-2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units, though one unit was reported infested in 2021-2022. An active elevator complaint from January 2025 regarding multiple devices on the property is currently pending resolution, representing the most recent building concern as of this analysis.
