563 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

563 Park Avenue is a 13-story, 20-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, currently managed by 62nd Park Avenue Corp., has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly between 2019 and 2021.

The building faced multiple electrical safety violations in 2019, including two separate complaints about defective/exposed wiring in September and November that resulted in Oath violations being served. These incidents were followed by Environmental Control Board violations related to electrical safety, including a $1,250 penalty for failure to comply with a previous order regarding GFCI installation, and a pending violation from September 2019 with a penalty of $4,800 for not installing a proper grounding electrode conductor. The building's more recent history shows improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) and consistent passing results in rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, suggesting effective pest management.

In 2021, there were two tenant safety inspections conducted in June and August, both of which found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has also shown good maintenance of its elevator system, with records showing multiple elevator work permits issued between 2021 and 2022, and no recent violations related to elevator safety. The most recent building inspection data from 2023-2025 indicates stable conditions, with the property maintaining an active status with no major recurring violations, though there are some undetailed active DOB violations from 2021 mentioned in the records.
