Augrented Insights Report for 143 Lexington Avenue

143 Lexington Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Frances Ortiz. The property has experienced ongoing compliance issues, with the most significant concerns revolving around unauthorized transient occupancy and safety violations. Between 2022 and 2024, multiple violations were documented regarding illegal occupancy of a cellar-level unit, including failure to provide required fire safety systems, proper egress, and violations of occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy.

The building has also faced repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports. Most recently, in August 2024, a violation was documented for removing or defacing a written posted vacate order, which was issued in March 2023 and affected the cellar area. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing annual rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing no pest-related problems.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various citations between 2022 and 2024, with most violations being subsequently resolved. Of particular note, there was a pattern of illegal hotel room violations, with guests reportedly booked through platforms like Airbnb for less than 30 days, leading to multiple fines and citations for safety and code violations. The building is currently facing open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2024), though the penalties associated with these violations are not specified in the available data.
