Augrented Insights Report for 226 West 78th Street

226 West 78th Street is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Antonio Morales. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years. Most notably, in December 2020, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though services were reportedly restored during their response.

The building has also faced multiple violations regarding mandatory safety postings, including gas leak procedures and housing information guides, as well as failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations. From 2018 to 2024, the property accumulated various Department of Buildings violations, including issues with emergency alarms and exit security (2018), and repeated violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements (2020-2023), though many of these were subsequently dismissed or resolved upon re-inspection. Recent inspections from 2015 through 2024 show consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, with all inspections passing.

The building's management has maintained a zero infestation record in its annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was filed in March 2020, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt in October 2020. The property also appears to have a pattern of energy efficiency compliance issues, with violations recorded in 2021 through 2023 being dismissed upon review, though one remains active as of 2024. The most recent rodent inspection (June 2024) passed, continuing the building's streak of successful pest control compliance, while all recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) show no infestations.
