Augrented Insights Report for 440 East 78th Street

440 East 78th Street is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper East Side, built in 1936 and currently owned by Carlos Benaim. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being a 2024 illegal conversion violation related to occupancy discrepancies, which was officially documented and served.

Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple heating and plumbing issues, including two building-wide heat/hot water failures and a steam pipe/riser problem in 2022 that were classified as emergencies but subsequently resolved. The property has faced ongoing rodent-related challenges, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2018 and 2020, though a recent October 2023 inspection passed with no active rat activity noted, representing a positive trend.

The building has also had several environmental violations, particularly regarding energy reporting requirements, with active violations for failure to display energy efficiency scores and submit required benchmarking reports. On a positive note, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), and recent rodent inspection results indicate improved conditions.
