Is 1285 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 26 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 1285 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx?
Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 39 Class C violations, all 39 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1285 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened July 16, 2026, awarded for $2,000. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

It also draws on HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026.
