Yes. 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan had 608 open violations on September 27, 2026: 586 from HPD and 22 from OATH/ECB. 198 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 54 years, since September 22, 1972.

Is 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 37 new Class C against 0 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 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, after the original certify-by date. 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 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 55 active DOB violations, most of them for elevator affirmations of correction. The newest was issued December 11, 2024. 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 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 3 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened June 8, 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan?

Yes. 13 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 2, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 17 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $38,361 in total. The most recent of the 17, a general construction order, was opened June 9, 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan?

Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed February 15, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

When did 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

Its 2 buildings had all filed by December 20, 2024, for the year to October 31, 2024. 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 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted building (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.

When was 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1966 as the year 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 27 floors.

How many apartments does 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 584 residential units at 700 Esplanade Gdns Plaza, Manhattan. 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, 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 DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, 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.
