504 East 79th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

504 East 79th Street is a 6-story, 92-unit residential building constructed in 1905 under the New Law Tenement classification, currently owned by Laura Ferraro. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent complaints in 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found no violations.

Other notable incidents include water leakage issues in 2021 (classified as an emergency), plumbing problems with toilets in 2020, and various flooring/stairs complaints in 2019-2021, though all these issues were resolved without violations being cited. The building's systems have generally passed inspections, including rodent inspections in 2023, 2019, and multiple others back to 2012, with only one instance of rat activity noted in June 2012. The property has maintained an environmentally sound record in recent times, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024) and only one instance requiring eradication in 2022, with no re-infestations reported.

While there was an active violation related to the failure to file an energy benchmarking report as of May 2019, this appears to be the only current building violation. The building has undergone regular inspections and has generally met compliance requirements, with emergency and non-emergency complaints being addressed and resolved, though not all issues resulted in formal violations. The consistent pattern of passing rodent inspections and the absence of significant recent infestation reports are positive indicators of building maintenance and pest control efforts.
