63 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

63 St. Marks Place is a 5-story, 13-unit residential building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jack Rosenthal. The property has experienced recurring plumbing and heating issues, most recently with multiple emergency plumbing complaints in April 2025 affecting water supply, toilets, and sinks, which remain open as of May 2025.

Between 2024 and 2025, there were several building-wide heat and hot water complaints, with inspection access repeatedly denied, though some related violations were subsequently addressed. The building's infrastructure has faced ongoing challenges, particularly with the boiler system, as evidenced by multiple defective/inoperative complaints and violations from 2019 to 2024, including a currently active ECB violation from October 2024 detailing multiple boiler issues. The property has also dealt with rodent problems, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing instances of rat activity, though recent inspections have passed. The building has accumulated various violations and complaints requiring attention over the years.

In 2024, multiple violations were issued regarding self-closing door requirements at building entrances, and there were significant issues with the public hall ceiling on the 3rd story. Historical records show past electrical work violations from 2021, and multiple boiler-related complaints between 2019 and 2024 indicate persistent maintenance challenges. The building has maintained a record of filing annual bedbug reports showing no infestations across all reporting periods between 2019 and 2025. While the building has obtained necessary permits for various work, including electrical and plumbing modifications from 2018 to 2019, the frequency of maintenance issues and recurring service requests suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
