223 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The three-story, eight-unit building at 223 West 78th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Dan Rozenblatt, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in late 2024, there was a violation related to exposed electrical wiring, and earlier in the year, a violation for unauthorized renovation work was documented, resulting in a penalty of $1,630.

The building has faced recurring challenges with maintenance compliance, including actively failing to file required boiler and low pressure inspection reports for 2023 and 2017, respectively, though the 2017 violation was ultimately dismissed. The building has maintained a generally clean record regarding pest management, with bedbug reports consistently showing zero infestations or cases of re-infestation from 2019 through 2024.

It has also passed multiple rodent inspections conducted from 2016 to 2024, despite one instance of rat activity noted in November 2017. A notable heating system incident occurred in late 2018 when the Housing Preservation and Development Department was unable to inspect the building despite complaints of heat and hot water problems. The building's regulatory history reveals a pattern of requiring better compliance with documentation and inspection requirements, while maintaining good standards in pest control and rodent management.
