Augrented Insights Report for 1729 Lexington Avenue

1729 Lexington Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit old-law tenement building built in 1910 in East Harlem, currently owned by James Wang. The property has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant concern being persistent rodent activity. Between 2022 and 2025, there were multiple rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with follow-up inspections revealing violations, though recent rodent inspections from 2025 and 2024 show passed results.

The building has had documented maintenance issues, including a concerning pattern of bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024, with current open violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports. The property has faced various housing maintenance code violations, particularly in 2021, including problems with wall conditions in Apartment 1's kitchen (noted for lead paint hazard and required repairs) and bulkhead ceiling issues. Earlier violations from 2019 documented heating system problems affecting Apartment 1 and issues with access to the boiler room.

The building's exterior has been subject to multiple Environmental Control Board violations regarding wall maintenance, particularly concerning spalling stucco and cracks noted in inspections between 2019-2020, with some violations remaining active as of 2020. There have been additional concerns regarding construction-related issues, including complaints in 2018 about construction work beyond approved plans, though these were resolved without violations. Recent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control, with bait application in summer 2023, though there was still documented rat activity during that period. The building's permit history shows at least one relevant permit issued in 2018 for exterior work.
