When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 501 West 52 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 21 Class C violations, all 21 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 11 of them Invalid Certification. 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 501 West 52 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 7 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.

Is 501 West 52 Street, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened August 26, 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.

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed July 1, 2026.

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.
