1683 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 5-story, 8-unit building at 1683 Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Calynne Oyolokor, has experienced recurring infrastructure challenges over recent years, most notably in the areas of heat and hot water. In 2024, the building had a significant heat/hot water emergency reported in March, which resulted in violations regarding inadequate hot water supply and maintenance issues with self-closing doors.
Similar heat and hot water complaints have been documented in 2018 and 2019, with HPD often unable to gain access for inspections. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with a 2019 report of unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspections were not completed. Recent records show ongoing concerns with vermin, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections and bait applications between late 2023 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in May and June 2025 showing rat activity.
While the building appears to have maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs from 2019 through 2024, there have been various maintenance violations and compliance issues. In 2023, the Department of Buildings issued violations for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though these were subsequently dismissed in 2024. The building's infrastructure has shown some improvement, with HPD inspections in 2024 confirming violations related to heat/hot water and access issues, but these seem to have been addressed by March 2024 according to certified violation resolution records.
