Is 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 70 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. 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 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, 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.

Is 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program?

Yes. In HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program since January 31, 2025. HPD puts a group of buildings with serious, long-running violations into the program each year. While a building is in it, HPD can make repairs itself and charge the cost to the property, and the building stays in until HPD discharges it.

Does 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 7 active DOB violations, most of them for not benchmarking energy use. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened April 28, 2023. 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 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed January 4, 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 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $5,281 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened September 13, 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.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Sidewalk Shed work, issued July 23, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan?

ENERGY STAR score 70 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.

Is 219 West 144 Street, 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.

When was 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1940 as the year 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan 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 219 West 144 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 41 residential units at 219 West 144 Street, 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 HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
