Where do these numbers come from?

It also draws on HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug 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 HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug 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.
