1759 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
1759 Lexington Avenue is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Manuel Paz. The building has experienced several structural and maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2021 when multiple violations were recorded regarding wall maintenance, with specific concerns about cracking and shifting of bricks and decorative stone on both the Lexington Avenue and East 109th Street sides. These violations resulted in penalties totaling $1,750, though they were subsequently resolved.
The building also underwent significant safety precautions in 2021, including the installation of a sidewalk shed that spanned approximately 60 linear feet along the Lexington Avenue side, with some subsequent violations related to its maintenance that were ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record over the past several years, with consistent filings showing zero infested units, indicating successful compliance with reporting requirements. Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity reported in 2023-2024, though the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 received passing results.
The building's history includes a period of concerns over structural stability in 2021, when building shaking was reported, and temporary vacancy issues were noted in 2019. While there was a food establishment complaint in 2018 regarding spoiled food that required Health Department intervention, this appears to be an isolated incident. As of March 2023, there were no outstanding housing maintenance code violations, and the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show continued adherence to reporting requirements with no reported infestations.
