1727 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1727 Lexington Avenue is a 5-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Matthew Mauro. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during February 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and entire-building outages. More recently, in January 2023 and September 2024, there were heat-related complaints, though inspections either found no violations (2023) or resulted in an advisory to the owner regarding sewage odor (2024).

The building currently has open bedbug-related violations from 2023-2024 regarding annual reporting requirements, though previous filings for 2020-2021 showed no infestation. Historical maintenance issues from 2020 included multiple violations regarding public hallway conditions, including defective light fixtures, ceiling materials, and marble treads on stairs, all of which have since been resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing routine rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025, indicating good overall pest management.

While there have been various violations and service requests over the years, most have been promptly addressed and closed. The building had three Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 related to fire escape maintenance and work without permits, which were resolved with monetary penalties. It's worth noting that the building's history shows a pattern of emergency heat/hot water complaints, with multiple inspections required to verify corrections, particularly during the winter months.
