Questions about this building

Does 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan had 113 open violations on September 27, 2026: 99 from HPD and 14 from OATH/ECB. 24 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 13 years, since June 17, 2013.

Is 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 24 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 3 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 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 80 Class C violations: 76 by the original certify-by date, 4 after it. HPD now marks 2 of them False Certification. 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 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on November 12, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 22 active DOB violations. The newest was issued October 4, 2023. 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.

Is 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases. The newest opened October 17, 2025. 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 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan?

Yes. 14 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 22, 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $3,793 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened October 11, 2024. 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 did 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On January 1, 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 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (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 17 St Nicholas Avenue, 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 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1915 as the year 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 17 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 39 residential units at 17 St Nicholas Avenue, 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 hearing dates, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, 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 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
