59 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

59 West 73rd Street is a 10-unit, 5-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1885 and currently owned by Paul Brusco. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of door-related complaints between October 2021 and 2022 (three emergency complaints), as well as multiple heat and hot water-related incidents in March-May 2020, where HPD inspections were often unable to gain access for verification.

More recently, in 2024, a bedbug violation was documented concerning the failure to file annual reports, though the building has consistently reported zero infested units in its bedbug filings from 2019 through 2024. The property has undergone various construction work periods, with several complaints about potential illegal conversions and work without permits between 2018-2021, though inspections typically resulted in either access denial or no violations found. Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been recorded and subsequently closed, including issues with garbage storage, fire escape accessibility, and various maintenance matters in Apartment 18 (2018).

The building's rodent inspection results have been generally favorable, with a passed inspection in April 2024 following a rat activity finding in March 2023. While there have been numerous service requests and complaints over the years, most have been addressed and closed, though some inspections frequently faced access issues. The building's records show regular permit activity between 2018-2020, supporting various maintenance and repair work conducted at the property.
