Augrented Insights Report for 50 East 78th Street

50 East 78th Street is a 12-story, 40-unit residential building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Summer Law. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints filed in March 2025, December 2024, January 2024, and December 2023, all involving the entire building and resulting in HPD inspections where access could not be gained. Between 2019 and 2022, significant maintenance issues were documented in Apartment 10A, including multiple violations related to water leaks, mold, electrical problems, and defective plaster and paint surfaces, though these violations have since been closed.

The building's facade has been a recurring concern, with a 2022 active complaint regarding unsafe conditions, and violations in 2019-2020 regarding water penetration affecting window and kitchen cabinet conditions on the 10th floor, resulting in multiple ECB violations totaling various penalties. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested units. Regular rodent inspections from 2011 to 2019 have passed all inspections.

The building owner has been responsive to some major work requirements, demonstrated by multiple permits issued in 2020-2021 for various repairs and maintenance, including exterior work. Recent records (2023-2024) show ongoing compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though there were violations noted in 2019 related to failure to file reports and certifications for various safety equipment including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. While many past violations have been resolved, the recurring nature of heating system complaints and the history of maintenance issues in a single apartment suggest challenges with building systems have persisted over time.
