Is 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 19 certifications filed against 2 new Class C 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 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 17 Class C violations: 16 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. HPD now marks 2 of them Invalid Certification. 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 an HPD vacate order in effect at 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 2 HPD vacate orders are in effect here, all for part of the building. The latest, for part of the building, took effect May 7, 2026. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 7 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $7,680 in total. The most recent of the 7, a general construction order, was opened October 16, 2025. 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 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?

Is 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx rent stabilized?

How many apartments does 2656 Decatur Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 23 residential units at 2656 Decatur 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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.
