Augrented Insights Report for 216 West 78th Street

216 West 78th Street is a 25-unit, 4-story Class A residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Daniel Lavian and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints from January 2024 through early 2025 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific heat and hot water problems, resulting in violations.

The elevator system has been a significant concern, with numerous complaints between 2023 and 2024, including violations for being out of service and safety concerns, generating multiple Environmental Control Board fines totaling over $15,000 that currently remain active. A notable indoor air quality issue involving unsafe mold was reported in September 2024, and various door-related violations were documented in 2024, including issues with self-closing doors at building entrances.

The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all required inspections from 2014 through 2024, and has shown no bedbug infestation reports in recent filings between 2020 and 2025. While there have been various maintenance issues reported through 311 services and housing maintenance code complaints, including a 2023 pest complaint and a 2022 water leak incident, most of these complaints have been resolved, with inspections conducted and either violations issued or no violations found upon inspection. The building's age and conversion status as Class A suggest it has undergone some form of recent upgrading or modification, though specific details of such improvements are not included in the data.
