1879 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 29-unit residential building at 1879 Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Jonatan Hegmann and constructed in 2010, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been three documented heat and hot water emergencies in the past year and a half (2024-2025) affecting various parts of the building, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2025.
As of June 2025, there are two open safety-related complaints regarding fire escape conditions and electrical outlet/switch issues. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases since 2019, and has consistently passed rodent inspections every year since 2018. The property has experienced some plumbing-related challenges, with two sewage odor complaints in late 2019 that required intervention from the Department of Health.
Historical records also show three complaints about unauthorized after-hours work and one instance of alleged unpermitted work between 2021-2022, though inspections found no violations in these cases. A housing maintenance code violation was noted in March 2023 regarding the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been rectified as subsequent reports from 2024 and 2025 show no infestations. The building's management has generally responded to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple emergency complaints, though the recent pattern of heat/hot water problems suggests ongoing challenges with building systems.
