10 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

10 East 78th Street is a four-story, single-unit building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, owned by Cally Kontokosta and constructed in 1887. The property has a concerning pattern of recent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations on record for four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, all citing failures to submit the mandatory Annual Bedbug Reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

These ongoing violations, which pattern suggests either oversight or non-compliance with reporting requirements, represent the most significant current issue at the property. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a good record in terms of rodent inspections, with all inspections between 2010 and 2019 passing successfully.

The consistent passing of rodent inspections indicates effective pest control measures were being maintained during that period. However, the most recent bedbug reporting violations indicate a potential shift in management practices, or at least an administrative oversight, particularly given the frequency and pattern of these specific violations over the past four years.
