2010 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

2010 Lexington Avenue is a 6-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Charles Gendron. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding building systems and resident comfort. From 2023 through 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water systems (including several building-wide outages), plumbing issues, and various maintenance problems. Notably, there were significant issues with mold (classified as both emergency and general conditions) and water leaks reported in 2023. The building has also faced challenges with building access during inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspections where access could not be gained to evaluate reported issues.

The property underwent construction work that led to numerous safety violations between 2020 and 2023, particularly regarding the sidewalk shed and scaffold systems. These included multiple ECB violations related to safety concerns, with penalties totaling over $10,000, though most were subsequently resolved. There were also violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though these were dismissed or resolved. The building's elevator system has shown recurring issues, with complaints and violations documented between 2020 and 2021, though recent complaints indicate this may no longer be a problem. Recent inspections and reports indicate some areas of concern.

As of 2025, while there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, there have been rodent activity issues noted in inspections throughout 2024, though compliance inspections resulted in "Passed" results. The most recent complaint about the building's intercom system in 2024 could not be inspected due to access issues, and while there have been multiple plumbing and heating system complaints, not all could be inspected at the time of reporting. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with responsiveness to resident complaints and access for inspections, particularly for system-related issues. The property has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations since at least 2019, though there have been multiple rodent control interventions in 2024. The building's violation history shows a pattern of resolving most issues once they are documented, though recent years have seen recurring problems with heating systems, plumbing, and general maintenance. The sidewalk shed/scaffold safety violations from 2020-2023 represent the most significant cluster of violations in recent years, though these appear to have been resolved.
