Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened November 22, 2025, awarded for $345. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. 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.

When was the boiler at 522 East 51 Street, Brooklyn last inspected?

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 Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection 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, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection 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.
