Questions about this building

Does 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan had 100 open violations on September 27, 2026: 99 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 31 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 2 years, since May 14, 2024.

Is 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 10 new Class C against 4 certifications filed in the last 180 days. 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 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 14 Class C violations: 8 by the original certify-by date, 6 after it. 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 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened January 14, 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 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed April 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed February 18, 2022 (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.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Supported Scaffold work, was issued September 23, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan?

ENERGY STAR score 63 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 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan last inspected?

On February 12, 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.

When did 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On December 3, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (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 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1929 as the year 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 7 floors.

How many apartments does 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 49 residential units at 50 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan. 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 housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug 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 HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug 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.
