Questions about this building

Does 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan had 11 open violations on October 10, 2026: 10 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 2 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 11 years, since January 31, 2015.

Is 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 2 open Class C, with 9 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations, all 5 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.

Does 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 5 active DOB violations, most of them for not benchmarking energy use. The newest was issued February 2, 2022. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 17 housing court cases here since 2007, most of them tenant actions. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed April 26, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

When was the boiler at 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2026, the latest on July 9. 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 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

Its 3 buildings had all filed by January 23, 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 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2026 as a rent-regulated building (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 314 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.

When was 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 314 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 314 East 78 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 99 residential units at 314 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, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list 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, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list 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.
