313 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, six-unit building at 313 West 78th Street, owned by Charles Vincent, has a history dating back to 1895 and is currently classified as a Class A building. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past several years, with three separate emergency complaints filed for lack of service affecting the entire building in March 2020, April 2022, and December 2022.

While building management maintained records indicating restoration of services in two instances, inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access to investigate in March 2020 and December 2022. Additional complaints regarding indoor air quality due to construction dust were recorded in April 2022. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years, including the most recent filings from March 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

An external low-pressure inspection violation issued in April 2023 was dismissed in April 2025. Notably, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past decade, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 showing compliance. While there have been heating system issues that warrant attention, the building's recent maintenance record shows improved stability, with no new heating complaints since December 2022 and consistent passing grades in other health and safety inspections.
