404 East 63rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

404 East 63rd Street is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in the Upper East Side, owned by Elvin Azzopardi and built in 1910. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most significantly a fire incident on January 30, 2023, which resulted in multiple active violations regarding structural safety, charred wood joists, and water damage throughout the building.

The property has also faced recurring rodent infestations, with multiple rat sightings reported through 2024, though recent inspections suggest improved conditions. In March 2024, multiple housing maintenance complaints were addressed, including issues with window panes, water leaks, and electrical problems. The building's history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, including a brief heat and hot water outage in October 2022 affecting the entire building, and various violations related to self-closing doors at building entrances documented in October 2022.

Recent inspection records show both progress and ongoing concerns - while the building passed rodent inspections in late 2024, there have been repeated violations regarding building maintenance, including an active ECB violation (as of August 2024) for a broken awning and a pending violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent reports, with no infested units recorded in the past three years. Regular inspections and service requests indicate active management of various building issues, though concerns about structural stability and maintenance compliance persist, particularly in light of the 2023 fire incident and its aftermath.
