1690 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
The five-story, three-unit residential building at 1690 Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Michael Lamoretti, was constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, most recently evidenced by multiple paint/plaster violations involving windows and doors in February 2025, for which HPD issued violations.
The building has also faced pest management issues, with rodent activity documented in multiple 2025 inspections despite bait application attempts in April 2025. There are significant open violations relating to the filing of annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024, and various safety compliance issues were documented during a 2019 inspection, including concerns about carbon monoxide detector requirements, heating system access, and exposed electrical wiring in the public hall areas. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with window and door conditions, as evidenced by multiple 2025 complaints about paint/plaster problems.
A 2019 complaint regarding a broken/missing window guard was investigated, though no violations were found. While some complaints have been resolved and closed, including those from 2023 about pigeon waste, the property continues to have several open violations that require attention, particularly concerning proper documentation of pest control measures and safety requirements. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicate persistent challenges with pest management, requiring regular bait application throughout the year.
