5 East 63rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

5 East 63rd Street is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building in New York City's Upper East Side neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Paola Monti. The building's documented history shows several significant maintenance and safety issues, most notably between 2019 and 2020 when there was an infestation problem in apartment 2B3B, including roaches and mice, which required multiple violations that were ultimately resolved by April 2020.

During this same period, there was a documented pest problem that led to HPD involvement in February 2020. More recent records from 2023-2024 show no reported pest issues, as the building's bedbug reports for these periods (2019-2021) consistently indicate zero infested units. The building has undergone various safety inspections and faced several violations that required correction, including a March 2020 violation for a missing smoke detector in apartment 2B3B, and October 2020 violations related to gas leak procedures and inspection certificate postings in the first-story public hall.

The most recent inspection in March 2023 revealed a violation regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been addressed based on subsequent bedbug reporting data. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was lodged in July 2021, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the claim. The building has maintained overall compliance with rodent inspections since 2019, with multiple passed inspections and only one failed inspection in March 2018 for unspecified reasons.
