147 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

147 West 78th Street is a 3-story, 10-unit residential building in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Sophia Magnone and constructed in 1890. The building has experienced several significant infrastructure issues over the past several years, most notably two power outage incidents in July 2018 that were treated as immediate emergencies, though no violations were found upon inspection.

In November 2019, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, which was reportedly resolved shortly after the complaint was filed. More recently, in March 2023, the building received a Class A violation for not filing the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been an administrative oversight rather than an indication of infestation. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control and sanitation, with rodent inspections conducted annually from 2014 through 2024 showing "Passed" results each time.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The most recent complaint, filed in January 2025 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly with heat and electricity in 2018-2019, it has generally demonstrated good pest management and compliance with safety inspections over the past decade.
