Augrented Insights Report for 173 West 78th Street

173 West 78th Street is a 16-story, 84-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by First New Amsterdam Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident from emergency HPD complaints in 2024 and 2025, affecting both entire building and individual apartments.

The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, with multiple complaints and inspections related to rodents and insects between 2022 and 2025, including recent rodent activity in late 2024. A concerning recent incident in June 2025 involved a food poisoning complaint, though this was determined to be isolated by the DOHMH. The property has a documented history of elevator maintenance issues, with multiple violations recorded between 2018-2019 related to inoperative devices and failure to correct defects.

Recent regulatory compliance concerns include active violations for failure to submit required reports in 2023-2024 regarding energy efficiency scoring and external low pressure inspections, with associated penalties. The building's bedbug infestation records show periodic occurrences between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent reports from March 2025 documenting infestations in four units, though all were reported as eradicated. While the building has received various permits for maintenance and improvement work between 2019-2021, including emergency work and plumbing repairs, the recurring nature of many issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.
