443 East 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075
The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 443 East 78th Street, owned by Todd Cohen, has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past two years, with ten documented heat/hot water complaints between May 2024 and March 2025. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) frequently encountered access issues when attempting to verify heating problems, though some emergencies were substantiated.
Notably, in summer 2024, Apartment 1C received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit in hot water temperature, along with door-related deficiencies, though these were certified as corrected by August 2024. The building had two instances of appliance issues, including a gas range problem in December 2024 and both a refrigerator and range issue reported in June 2025. The property maintains a clean record with respect to bedbugs, with consistent reports showing no infestations from 2021 through 2025, and completed successful rodent inspections in 2022.
However, there is an unresolved violation regarding 2018 external low-pressure inspection filing as of June 2023. A recent Department of Buildings complaint regarding an adult establishment was assigned to the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement in November 2024. The building's footprint includes 20 units, and it is located in the Upper East Side neighborhood, with construction dating back to 1924.
