219 West 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

219 West 77th Street is an 18-story, 26-unit residential building constructed in 2015 and owned by Spencer Acker. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues, particularly between 2019-2021. Most notably, there was a series of plumbing and gas-related violations in late 2019, including unauthorized gas installations for a rooftop BBQ grill and piping work, which resulted in Oath violations and multiple ECB citations.

The building has also faced challenges with compliance documentation, including failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports in 2022-2023, though these issues were eventually resolved with no penalties. During 2019, multiple stop work orders were issued related to construction beyond approved plans and unpermitted work, though these were subsequently rescinded. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025) and regular rodent inspection passing scores from 2015 through 2024.

Various permits have been issued over the years for maintenance work, with the most recent permits being granted in December 2020. While the building has experienced several code compliance issues, most have been resolved through proper filings and corrections, and the property has shown consistent improvement in maintaining required documentation and systems. The most recent building inspection records through 2025 indicate no current infestations and regular compliance with health and safety requirements.
