303 West 76th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Zacarias Vazquez. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably persistent heat and hot water problems. Three emergency complaints regarding lack of heat/hot water were filed between 2021-2022, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building.

There were also multiple safety concerns in 2019, including two fire escape-related complaints, one of which could not be inspected due to access issues. Electrical issues were documented in 2019, with detailed violations issued for defective outlets and unauthorized electrical work in Apartment 3B, including installation of new 220V outlets without proper permits, for which a $625 penalty was imposed. Recent inspections have shown improvement in certain areas, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2022.

The building's environmental health record is notably clean, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2025). The most recent bedbug report for the period 2024-2025, filed in December 2024, listed zero infested units. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, though there were multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints in 2019 regarding various issues including electrical wiring, power outage, outlet problems, and wall maintenance. While several complaints have been addressed and closed, some violations from 2019 related to fire safety and security remain active as of the last available data.
