78 Edgecombe Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030
78 Edgecombe Avenue is a 5-story, 31-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Theresa Veltri. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with ten emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and April 2025, most of which were building-wide and resulted in investigations showing either restored service or access issues preventing inspections.
The building currently has multiple open violations related to lead paint hazards in Apartment 52, identified during a March 2024 inspection, including issues with peeling paint on walls and ceilings, door frames, and baseboards. There are also open violations from November 2023 concerning rust on both fire escapes at the front of the building, which requires scraping and repainting. The building has a history of rodent control challenges, as evidenced by failed inspection results in 2023 and early 2024, though more recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown improvement, with the most recent May 2025 inspection passing.
The property maintains an active bedbug reporting record with no infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025). An illegal hotel room investigation in 2023 was closed due to insufficient information, and there is an active Department of Buildings violation from 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency ratings. Additionally, several Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented over the past two years, with requirements for various repairs and corrections throughout the building.
