Augrented Insights Report for 1553 Lexington Avenue

1553 Lexington Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Harlem that was built in 1910 and is currently owned by Christopher Cirillo. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between May and June 2025, indicating an ongoing problem with the building-wide heating system.

In addition to these heating issues, there have been various maintenance concerns noted in 2023-2024, particularly in apartment 5A, including issues with bathroom tiles, window panes, self-closing doors, and bathtub surfaces, some of which remain open violations as of 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to several critical systems, with work permits issued in 2018-2020 for electrical and plumbing work.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025, with most results showing compliance except for a rat activity finding in September 2023, which is concerning given the building's age. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2018 through the most recent reporting period in 2024-2025, with no infested units reported in the past six years. Recent inspections and service requests indicate the building has faced challenges with both building-wide systems and individual unit maintenance, particularly regarding heating, hot water, and various apartment-specific issues.
