1797 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
This five-story, eight-unit old-law tenement building at 1797 Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Danny Young, has exhibited some concerning patterns in recent years, particularly regarding ventilation and rodent control.
Most recently, in May 2025, there was a ventilation system complaint that an HPD inspector was unable to access during the inspection, and this month (July 2025), there was an initial rodent inspection indicating rat activity, though the building passed subsequent inspections in both February and July 2025. The building's inspection history shows a recurring issue with illumination at the front entrance, with violations noted in both 2021 and 2019, though these were eventually resolved.
Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While the ventilation issue and recent rodent activity are notable concerns, the property has generally maintained compliance with many other housing maintenance codes, though the inability to access the building for ventilation inspection in 2025 suggests some accessibility issues that warrant attention.
