Augrented Insights Report for 444 East 78th Street

444 East 78th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1942, currently owned by Kenneth Rosenblum. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past year, with multiple open complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions as of May 2025.

A significant cluster of complaints in late 2024-early 2025 centered around heating and plumbing problems, including multiple heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building, though some complaints were documented as resolved upon inspection. Apartment 1 received several violations in December 2024 related to maintenance and safety, including issues with plumbing fixtures (bathtub, sink), mold, and missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), though these were certified as corrected by January 2025. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with several inspections between 2020-2022 showing varying results, though the most recent rodent inspection in July 2023 passed.

Historical complaints show some concerns about unauthorized construction work, though inspections in 2023-2024 did not warrant violations. While the building experienced plumbing and heating issues during 2024-2025, no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past eight years, and the most recent boiler inspection report from 2019 remains as an active violation for failure to file. Recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly regarding garbage storage, though some previously noted issues have been addressed through inspections and violations.
