Questions about this building

Does 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan had 141 open violations on September 27, 2026: 5 from OATH/ECB and 136 from HPD. 41 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 22 years, since March 5, 2004.

Is 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 10 certifications filed and 13 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 30 Class C violations: 21 by the original certify-by date, 9 after it. 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for October 22, 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 33 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued December 11, 2024. 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan?

Yes. 8 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed August 12, 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 9 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $8,910 in total. The most recent of the 9, a general construction order, was opened May 11, 2026. 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued January 9, 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.

Does 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, issued January 31, 2014. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

Is 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, 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 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1900 as the year 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, 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 5 floors.

How many apartments does 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 76 residential units at 2217 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, 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, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, 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, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
