450 East 63rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

450 East 63rd Street is a 13-story, Class A residential building with 503 units, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Sutton House Associated. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in March 2025, including two emergency heat/hot water complaints within a week of each other. Additional maintenance concerns include plumbing issues, particularly with basins/sinks, which have resulted in both open and closed complaints through 2025.

The building's maintenance history reveals several significant health and safety concerns. There are ongoing issues with construction lead dust affecting apartments, with complaints filed in 2022 and 2024 that remain unresolved as of 2025. The property has also faced challenges with rodent activity, showing failed inspections in early 2025 after passing consistently since 2019.

Earlier violations included problems with indoor air quality related to chemical vapors and asbestos concerns in both 2021 and 2023. The building's facade maintenance history shows a serious violation in 2018 regarding failure to maintain safety measures, resulting in a $6,000 penalty. While the property has maintained active bedbug reporting showing minimal infestations in recent years, the persistence of various maintenance issues and the presence of ongoing violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. Recent inspections and complaints indicate particular attention to heat/hot water systems and plumbing infrastructure, which appear to be frequent sources of tenant complaints.
