410 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

410 East 78th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 located in the Upper East Side neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently receiving a complaint in May 2025 that was closed due to inspection access issues, and previously in 2019. There have been multiple pest-related complaints, with the most recent occurring in July 2023, though not resulting in any violations.

The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with mixed results including instances of rat activity noted in 2021 and 2019, though a compliance inspection passed in 2022 was positive. In 2023, multiple violations were documented during an inspection, including issues with self-closing doors, emergency notices, and a missing carbon monoxide detector in apartment 4B, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Historical maintenance issues have included problems with water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster, and various apartment-specific violations, though none have appeared in recent inspection reports.

The building appears to have maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations in the past four years (2021-2025), and only one documented case in 2020 that was promptly addressed. While there have been various maintenance issues reported over the years, many have been resolved through proper inspection and correction processes. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, though there have been some inspection access issues. Recent inspections indicate improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, with most violations from 2023 being promptly addressed through certification processes in late 2023.
