It also draws on HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, 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.
