When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 2179 Washington Avenue, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 11 Class C violations, all 11 after 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.

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since June 17, 2025. Reason on the order: fire damage.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 2179 Washington Avenue, Bronx?

ENERGY STAR score 99 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

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.

When was 2179 Washington Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1912 as the year 2179 Washington Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 2179 Washington Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 36 residential units at 2179 Washington Avenue, Bronx. 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 HPD vacate orders, HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, Local Law 84 energy 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 HPD vacate orders, HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, Local Law 84 energy 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.
