When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 272 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn?

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 272 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program?

Yes. In HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program since January 31, 2014. HPD puts a group of buildings with serious, long-running violations into the program each year.

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed March 20, 2026.

It also draws on HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026.

Sources.

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.
