Is 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 0 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 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, by 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.

Does 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued June 30, 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 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened February 20, 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 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints, 2 of them conversion complaints, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 17, 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 4, 2024, awarded for $295. 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 the boiler at 359 West 52 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection 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 DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection 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.
