265 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075
265 East 78th Street is a 6-story, 27-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Nader Ohebshalom. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably recurring problems with heat and hot water, including emergency complaints in March 2025 and March 2024, as well as multiple reports of unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions throughout 2024.
Apartment 6D has been cited for multiple violations in 2024, including inadequate water supply and defective self-closing doors, while Apartment 3D underwent significant repairs in late 2023/early 2024 to address electrical issues, mold, and various maintenance problems. The building has also faced rodent activity concerns, with multiple inspections between 2018 and 2022 showing rat activity, though inspections in 2017 had passed. Prior to 2023, the building had several significant violations related to safety concerns, including issues with egress and emergency access points documented in 2021 and 2022.
In 2019, there were multiple violations regarding an illegal transient use of Apartment E2, including missing fire alarm systems and sprinkler requirements, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's environmental control board violations from 2021 and 2022, while noting stored items in public spaces, show little balance due and were resolved or are active with no penalties owed. Bedbug inspections from 2020 to 2025, including the most recent filings, show either zero infestations or a single instance in 2018-2019 that was fully addressed.
