1671 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The three-family residence at 1671 Lexington Avenue, located in East Harlem and currently owned by Malika Benfredj, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently in October 2023, there were complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building, which resulted in violations being issued following an inspection of one apartment, though access could not be gained to the complaining unit.

Earlier in 2023, the building faced multiple concerning issues in June, including reports of heavy water leaks and mold-related sanitary conditions, though inspections did not result in any violations being issued for these particular complaints. The building's record indicates regular maintenance challenges, as evidenced by these emergency-level complaints regarding basic services and building conditions.

Despite these issues, there is currently no evidence of bedbug infestations in the building, according to the bedbug reporting data for the period from November 2022 to October 2023, which shows zero reported infestations, eradications, or re-infestations of dwelling units. The property, constructed in 1910, is classified as a two-family house and consists of three stories, with its most pressing recent concerns centering around heating systems and water-related problems that have affected multiple units.
