65 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 6-story, 8-unit building at 65 West 73rd Street, owned by Paul Brusco, was constructed in 1885 and has undergone various conversions over its lifetime. The property has experienced recurring heating and pest issues, with the most recent complaints in 2025 regarding heat/hot water problems and unsanitary conditions related to pests, both of which were classified as emergencies and non-emergencies respectively, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

A similar heating issue was documented in 2015 in apartment 4A, along with concerns about locked boiler room access. The building has recorded several infrastructure and safety-related complaints in recent years, including elevator service issues (2024), work without proper permits (2024), and concerns about illegal hotel rooms (2022), though inspections generally found no violations or insufficient information to substantiate the complaints. The property has maintained consistent rodent control outcomes, passing all inspections between 2015 and 2024, and has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations in its reporting history from 2020 through 2024.

While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, including a power outage in 2020 and multiple heating system concerns, it has generally addressed violations when identified. Historical records show earlier violations from 1986 regarding boiler room access and heating system notice requirements, which were certified as corrected in 2019. Despite the recurring heating and pest issues, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control regulations and has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program with no reported infestations.
