Questions about this building

Does 280 East 170 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 280 East 170 Street, Bronx had 76 open violations on September 27, 2026: 73 from HPD and 3 from OATH/ECB. 21 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 17 years, since April 18, 2009.

Is 280 East 170 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 21 open Class C, with 3 certifications filed and 5 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 280 East 170 Street, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 23 Class C violations: 16 by the original certify-by date, 7 after it. HPD now marks 1 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.

Does 280 East 170 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 41 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued April 24, 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 280 East 170 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints, 1 of them conversion complaint, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed November 15, 2025. 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 170 Street, Bronx?

No Report Filed for inspection cycle 9. 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.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 280 East 170 Street, Bronx?

ENERGY STAR score 88 for 2023, against a median of 66 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 170 Street, Bronx last inspected?

It has 3 boilers, all inspected in 2026, the latest on March 10. 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.

Is 280 East 170 Street, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted building (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 170 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1995 as the year 280 East 170 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an asylum or home with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 280 East 170 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 79 residential units at 280 East 170 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 DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection 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 DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection 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.
