Augrented Insights Report for 153 West 78th Street

153 West 78th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1890 and currently maintained as a Class A building. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues in recent years, with rat sightings reported in 2025 and 2024, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status.

The building faced several health and maintenance challenges between 2020-2024, including mold and water leak problems in apartment 1B (2020), multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (2021 and 2024), and violations related to waste receptacle storage and gas leak procedures (2021). Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 generally showed compliance with health standards, passing rat inspections despite initial reports of rat activity earlier in 2024 and 2025.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2019 to the present, with no reported infestations or re-infestations. Recent building permits issued in 2022-2023 suggest ongoing maintenance and improvements, though specific details of these works require further investigation through job numbers. The building's inspection history demonstrates a pattern of addressing violations and completing required repairs, though some issues have recurred over time, particularly concerning rodent control and waste management.
