405 East 63rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 12-story, 154-unit residential building at 405 East 63rd Street, owned by 405/63 Owners Corp., has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring concerns about heat and hot water, with an emergency complaint in November 2023 regarding lack of services in the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. In 2024, there were two rodent sightings reported in October, with inspections conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene passing without violations.

The building has documented multiple maintenance issues in 2021, including problems with electrical outlets/switches, wall paint/plaster, and pest conditions, all of which were verified as corrected by Housing Preservation and Development. More recently, there is an active complaint from June 2025 regarding water retention/ drainage issues. Historically, there have been two elevator violations issued in September 2019, though these were dismissed in July 2021.

The building's permit records show regular maintenance and repair work being carried out, with several emergency work permits issued between 2018-2020 for various repairs. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years. Regular rodent inspections dating back to 2011 have consistently passed, though the recent sightings in 2024 represent an exception to this pattern.
