Is 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program?

Yes. In HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program since January 31, 2017. HPD puts a group of buildings with serious, long-running violations into the program each year. While a building is in it, HPD can make repairs itself and charge the cost to the property, and the building stays in until HPD discharges it.

Does 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 16 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $3,675 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened January 3, 2024. 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.

When was 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn 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 3 floors.

How many apartments does 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 6 residential units at 291 East 54 Street, Brooklyn. 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's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, 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 HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, 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.
