150 East 78Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

150 East 78th Street is a 15-story, 23-unit Class A residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, completed in 2019 and currently owned by Filip Rrasi. The building has experienced several significant health-related incidents recently, with the most concerning being multiple active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigations in June 2025 related to potential food safety violations involving pet/animal concerns. These recent complaints follow a pattern of food-related issues, including an isolated food poisoning incident in October 2023 and a dishwashing/utensils complaint in April 2023.

The building has also had some structural and safety concerns during its history, particularly during the construction phase between 2019-2020, with multiple complaints regarding site conditions endangering workers and several construction safety compliance actions that resulted in Oath Violations Served. While these issues were generally resolved with Stop Work Orders being fully rescinded, they indicate a period of heightened attention to safety regulations. The building's violation history shows a series of "failure to certify correction" issues during 2019-2020, with all violations eventually dismissed.

More recently, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), suggesting successful pest management. A noteworthy indoor air quality complaint regarding sewage odor was reported in March 2023, though this was referred to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) for investigation. The building's management has maintained generally prompt responses to violations and complaints, with most being addressed or closed within reasonable timeframes, though the recent food establishment complaints remain pending resolution as of mid-2025.
