70 East 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

70 East 77th Street is a 10-story, 30-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, owned by Christina Forbes and constructed in 1917 as a New Law tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a power outage in August 2020 which required HPD intervention, though no violations were found.

A recent rodent sighting was reported in June 2025, which prompted a DOHMH inspection that found no violations. The building's records show regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2012, indicating ongoing management of this issue. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with no reported infestations from 2019 to the present, following one isolated incident in 2019 that was resolved.

The building has experienced some regulatory compliance issues, including a DOB violation in June 2023 for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in July 2023. Multiple permits have been issued for the building over the years, including plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent permits issued in 2022-2023 suggesting ongoing maintenance and system updates. The building's overall inspection history shows generally good compliance with health and safety regulations, though the recurring rodent and occasional electric issues indicate some persistent infrastructure challenges.
