Augrented Insights Report for 555 East 78th Street

555 East 78th Street is a 7-story, 87-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Laura Ferraro. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, including two mold incidents in 2024 and one in 2022, as well as pest problems in 2024 and 2020, with the 2020 infestation involving mice in Basement Apartment 1H.

A significant heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building was reported in January 2019, though residents confirmed the service had been restored during inspection. The building's safety systems have also raised concerns, with multiple violations issued in July 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors and hinges in various stairwells and public areas, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in August 2024. The property is currently under scrutiny for facade safety, with active Unsafe Notifications filed in March 2023 (complaints #1631306 and #1631308).

More recent violations include a 2024 citation for failing to submit an Energy Efficiency Report (EER) and a November 2023 violation for not correcting "swarm conditions." The building has maintained a good track record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2022 and multiple passed rodent inspections from 2011-2019. Proper safety signage regarding gas leak procedures and building registration has been maintained since 2019. Three electrical work permits were issued in 2023-2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's systems.
