101 West 78th Street is a 7-story, 21-unit residential building constructed in 1886 in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, currently owned by Robert Rediker.

In summer 2024, multiple violations were documented regarding door hardware issues in unit 6B and common areas, including defective self-closing doors and latch sets.
The building has also faced electrical problems, with emergency wiring-related complaints in 2023-2024 receiving violations. A façade safety concern was recorded in February 2023 under Local Law 11/98, and there are multiple active Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 related to external wall inspection requirements, with penalties totaling $6,375. The property has experienced periodic rodent issues, with a rat activity report in July 2024, though subsequent inspections generally show compliance.

The building's bedbug reports from 2019-2024 consistently show zero infested units reported. While there have been various construction-related complaints and violations in recent years, records show that most have been resolved, including a stop work order from 2020 and several permit-related issues that were addressed. The building has maintained regular permit issuance for electrical work, with the most recent permits issued in 2024-2025, though there are some historical violations related to permit sign-offs that remain active as of 2023.
