Is 40-94 Denman Street, Queens getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 5 open Class C, with 6 certifications filed and 2 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 40-94 Denman Street, Queens?
Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 24 Class C violations, all 24 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.
Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 40-94 Denman Street, Queens?
Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since June 8, 2017. 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 HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.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 40-94 Denman Street, Queens have active DOB violations?
Yes. 4 active DOB violations. The newest was issued June 23, 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.
What did the latest facade report find at 40-94 Denman Street, Queens?
Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed January 21, 2025 (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 40-94 Denman Street, Queens?
ENERGY STAR score 66 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 40-94 Denman Street, Queens last inspected?
On June 1, 2026. 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.

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.
