The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings.

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.

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.

When was 149 Watkins Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 2005 as the year 149 Watkins Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a three-family dwelling with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 149 Watkins Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 149 Watkins Street, Brooklyn. 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 DOB violations, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders 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 DOB violations, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
