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.

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 738 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a two-family dwelling with 2 floors.

How many apartments does 738 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn have?

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 emergency repair orders 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 records are the authority on what is open today.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
