563 West 173rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 16-unit, 5-story residential building at 563 West 173rd Street in Washington Heights, owned by John Marukos, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple violations were documented, including concerns with window frames, an electric/gas range, walls requiring attention, mold issues, and lighting problems - all of which received violations that required the owner to address the conditions within specified timeframes.
Additional issues were recorded in 2024-2025 related to a mobile food vendor, and an emergency complaint regarding heat/hot water for the entire building was addressed in late 2023. The building has shown some recurring maintenance patterns, with multiple complaints about paint/plaster conditions (both in 2024 and 2025), and issues with a window guard installation requirement in Apartment 4B. The property has demonstrated generally good rodent control, passing inspections consistently from 2015 through 2024.
However, there have been two instances of bedbug infestations reported in 2024 and 2025, though both cases were marked as eradicated according to the reports. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 specifically identified problems in Apartments 3A (window frame and faucet issues), 4A (defective self-closing door), and 4B (broken floor and multiple other concerns). The building's historical records show regular inspections and some permitted work, with various maintenance issues being documented and generally addressed through the established violation resolution processes.
