Is 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 21 certifications filed against 3 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 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 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 33 Class C violations, all 33 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.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since October 8, 2014. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

When was the boiler at 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn last inspected?

Is 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

When was 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn built?

How many apartments does 1281 Union Street, Brooklyn have?

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 HPD vacate orders, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 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 HPD vacate orders, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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.
