Where do these numbers come from?

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, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file.

The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
