315 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 17-unit, 4-story, Old Law Tenement building at 315 East 78th Street, owned by Roni Abudi and dating from 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent-related incidents, with rat sightings reported in both 2022 and 2021, though inspections in 2023, 2022 (multiple), and 2021 found the building to be rodent-free. A concerning period of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building was reported in November 2019, resulting in emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though these were later resolved with restoration of services.

The building has also faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2023 and 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings show no infestations or eradications between 2018 and 2024. The property has undergone several inspections related to maintenance issues, including repairs needed for broken bathroom and kitchen floor tiles in apartment 4B, documented in 2017. A construction-related complaint was filed and investigated in September 2023, though it was referred to the Department of Transportation.

While there have been various other complaints regarding debris and building protection between 2021-2022, inspections generally found no violations. The building's rodent control efforts appear to be ongoing and mostly successful, with compliance inspections passing in 2023 and 2022 after earlier instances of rat activity. The property's maintenance history suggests that while there have been periodic issues requiring attention, the building management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with most recent inspections indicating improved conditions.
