215 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 10-story, 40-unit building at 215 West 78th Street, owned by Jennifer Santaniello, was constructed in 1926 as a New Law Tenement and has maintained a generally positive track record over recent years. The building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2015 through 2024, demonstrating effective pest management practices, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2018.

While there was one rodent sighting complaint in September 2018 that warranted a DOHMH review, this appears to be an isolated incident. The property has experienced minimal violations, with only one DOB violation noted in June 2020 that was subsequently dismissed in December 2022 based on corrected defects.

Several permits have been issued for various works between 2019 and 2021, including multiple Emergency Work (EW) and Plumbing (PL) permits, with the most recent permits issued in April 2021. A professional certification compliance audit conducted in October 2019 found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance record suggests active management, with regular inspections and prompt resolution of any identified issues, though most permits appear to be related to routine maintenance rather than significant structural or safety concerns.
