Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed July 17, 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.

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.

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, HPD's housing court cases, 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 records are the authority on what is open today.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, 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.
