306 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

306 West 78th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, built in 1896 and currently owned by Reginald White. The building has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably an ongoing problem with external low-pressure inspection filings, with violations issued in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file these required inspections.

In terms of habitability issues, the building faced a heat and hot water emergency complaint in January 2020 that required HPD intervention, though this was subsequently resolved. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025, though a violation was issued in 2022 for failure to file the annual bedbug report.

Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture of building conditions; while the most recent inspection in September 2024 passed, there were two consecutive failures in late 2023, following eight consecutive passes from 2015 through 2022. The property has a long history of generally maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the recent pattern of violations suggests some lapses in regulatory adherence. While the building exhibits some concerning patterns, particularly regarding inspection compliance and pest control, it has maintained a relatively stable environment with no reported bedbug infestations and passed inspections in multiple categories over the years.
