11 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

11 East 78th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Robert Friedman. The property has undergone significant maintenance and reporting activities over the past two decades. Most notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of successful rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2012 through 2020.

The building faced persistent door-related issues in mid-2018, with multiple emergency complaints logged and subsequently resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), along with several other maintenance concerns including garbage storage and janitorial service matters. The property has demonstrated effective pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four filing periods from 2021 through 2024, and only one confirmed case in 2019 that was promptly addressed. Recent health inspections in 2020 dealt with pigeon waste concerns, though these investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations.

The building has also had historical violations dating back to 2003-2004, particularly concerning Apartment 2B, involving issues with vermin, smoke detectors, window glass, and a bathroom door, though these were certified as resolved by 2019. A DOB violation from 2019 was dismissed in 2022 based on subsequent report corrections. The building's maintenance record shows proactive responses to various housing code complaints, with most issues being addressed and closed without violations being issued.
