Questions about this building

Does 280 East 161 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 280 East 161 Street, Bronx had 194 open violations on September 27, 2026: 192 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 75 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 27 years, since October 15, 1998.

Is 280 East 161 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 7 certifications filed and 12 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 280 East 161 Street, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 93 Class C violations: 90 by the original certify-by date, 3 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.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 280 East 161 Street, Bronx?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since November 23, 2012. 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 HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Does 280 East 161 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 4 active DOB violations, most of them for elevators. The newest was issued May 2, 2023. 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 280 East 161 Street, Bronx in housing court?

Yes. 3 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened July 27, 2026. 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 280 East 161 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed May 26, 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 280 East 161 Street, Bronx?

Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed December 29, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 280 East 161 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 9 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued July 27, 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 280 East 161 Street, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, renewed January 4, 2023. 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.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 280 East 161 Street, Bronx?

ENERGY STAR score 100 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.

When was the boiler at 280 East 161 Street, Bronx last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2025, the latest on September 30. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 280 East 161 Street, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On May 4, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 280 East 161 Street, Bronx 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 280 East 161 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1980 as the year 280 East 161 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 8 floors.

How many apartments does 280 East 161 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 204 residential units at 280 East 161 Street, 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, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug 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 vacate orders, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug 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.
