Questions about this building

Does 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn had 45 open violations on September 27, 2026: 45 from HPD. 17 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 2 years, since October 2, 2023.

Is 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 12 new Class C against 3 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 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 22 Class C violations: 20 by the original certify-by date, 2 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened June 12, 2025, awarded for $2,000. 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.

Does 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, renewed July 8, 2026. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

When did 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On May 15, 2026, 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 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn 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.

Is 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 2020 as the year 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn 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 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 160 residential units at 535 East 98 Street, Brooklyn. 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 the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, 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 the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
