Questions about this building

Does 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan had 2 open violations on October 10, 2026: 2 from HPD. None is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 30 days, since September 10, 2026.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations, all 2 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

When was the boiler at 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

On May 28, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On January 13, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

Does 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan have a property tax exemption?

The building has a J-51 tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. DOF lists its start year as 2005. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 28 residential units at 226 East 78 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
