Yes. 617 East 179 Street, Bronx had 77 open violations on September 27, 2026: 76 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 45 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 15 years, since July 6, 2011.

Is 617 East 179 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 11 certifications filed against 1 new Class C 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 617 East 179 Street, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 30 Class C violations, all 30 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 1 of them False Certification and 1 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 617 East 179 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued March 29, 2018. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 617 East 179 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $1,050 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened March 18, 2026. 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 617 East 179 Street, Bronx last inspected?

On September 26, 2025. 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.

Is 617 East 179 Street, Bronx 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 617 East 179 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 617 East 179 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 617 East 179 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 9 residential units at 617 East 179 Street, Bronx. 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 DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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 DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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.
