Questions about this building

Does 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan had 49 open violations on September 27, 2026: 49 from HPD. 15 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 10 years, since January 5, 2016.

Is 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 15 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 1 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 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 4 Class C violations, all 4 by 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed June 5, 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 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $3,290 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened April 29, 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 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Sidewalk Shed work, issued August 11, 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.

When was 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1900 as the year 23 Catherine 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 23 Catherine Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 15 residential units at 23 Catherine 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 DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, 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 page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, 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.
