1795 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1795 Lexington Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910 in East Harlem, currently owned by Scott Metzner. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaints in January 2025 affecting individual apartments, and prior emergencies recorded in 2019-2020 that impacted the entire building. These recurrent heating system problems suggest a potentially persistent infrastructure challenge.

An appliance issue involving an electric/gas range was reported in January 2025 and remains unresolved. The building had one recorded HVAC-related violation in December 2019 regarding an air conditioning unit on the 5th floor balcony, though this was subsequently closed. Recent pest management records show no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years, with all annual inspections showing zero infested units.

However, there have been some rodent issues noted in 2025, with initial inspections in January and February showing rat activity, though a follow-up in July 2025 returned a passing result. The building has maintained consistent rodent control efforts, passing inspections throughout 2022-2024, with the most recent passed inspection in July 2025. The property underwent some permitted work in 2018, with two permits issued for plumbing and alteration work, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the records.
