Augrented Insights Report for 78 Highland Place

78 Highland Place is a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Highland Apartments LLC. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in April 2025 regarding flooring conditions, though HPD was unable to complete inspections.

From January 2025, multiple heat and hot water complaints were reported, indicating possible system issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has documented mold and water leak concerns, with one apartment (1C) in 2023 showing evidence of roach and mice infestation, though these violations were subsequently addressed. The building has several open violations from a November 2024 inspection, including issues with fire escape egress obstruction by flowerpots, missing glass lite at the vestibule door, and problems with the east and south walls at the first-story vestibule.

There appears to be a historical pattern of boiler-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2018-2022, including defective operation and various repair needs. The building's environmental compliance history shows regular bedbug reporting with no infestations recorded in recent years, and rodent inspections in 2022 indicated rat activity. The property has active complaints regarding its Certificate of Occupancy status as of June 2025, and while some violations have been resolved through proper certification, others remain open with no certification recorded as of the latest inspection.
