1651 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 5-story, 8-unit residential building at 1651 Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Michael Garcia, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. Between January 2025 and April 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints and violations, including water leaks, mold problems, flooring issues, and heating system failures affecting the entire building.
The building has also undergone several rodent inspections throughout 2024-2025, with consistent reports of rat activity and the application of bait, indicating an ongoing pest problem. Additionally, apartment 2W has documented issues with vermin infestation, including mice and flies, along with multiple violations related to flooring, plaster surfaces, and window repairs. The building's history shows recurring problems with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues in 2025.
Other significant concerns include building safety violations, such as locked boiler room access and blocked fire escape access, though these have been marked as resolved. The property has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections over the years, with one notable citation in 2019 for unpermitted work related to a fire suppression system installation. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing no infestations from 2020 to present, the persistent rodent activity and recent moisture-related issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
