012 open class-C HPD violations (immediately hazardous) — about 1 per 3 apartments
022 of those issued in the last 3 years
033 open rent-impairing violation(s)
041 active DOB violation(s)
How this is set: open hazardous violations measured against the building's size, then raised by strong distress signals — HPD's enforcement program, court harassment findings, recent evictions, unpaid OATH/ECB fines, open housing-court cases, and a sold tax lien. Neighborhood noise and crime are not part of it. It describes the public record, not the condition of any one apartment, and a quiet record is not proof of a good building.

Our free Chrome extension shows a building's concern level right on StreetEasy, Zillow, Apartments.com, Redfin and other NYC rental listings.
The owner registered 6 stabilized units with New York State for 2019 — essentially all of the building's 6 apartments.

No public data says which specific apartment is stabilized.
Registration counts apply to the building, not to unit numbers. To confirm your own apartment, request your rent history from New York State Homes and Community Renewal — it is free and takes a few weeks.
The owner filed 3 annual bedbug reports and reported no infested units. Filing with zero infestations is the compliant, reassuring case.

Open Class A
Class C is immediately hazardous, Class B is hazardous, Class A is non-hazardous. A violation stays open until HPD certifies the repair, so some open items may already be fixed. HPD writes a separate violation for each room or spot, so one inspection can produce several near-identical entries; those are grouped below by apartment and date.

Complaints record what a tenant reported, not a finding by the city. "Closed" often means the inspector could not gain access.

311 noise complaints within about 1,000 ft (a few blocks) in the last year. Most reports here are about noise from inside buildings — neighbors, not the street. This counts how often people call 311, which tracks how densely populated and busy an area is as much as how loud it is — it is not a sound measurement.

Violation45
NYPD complaints reported within about 1,000 ft (a few blocks) in the last year, by severity. This reflects what gets reported and where police are active as much as actual safety, and busier, denser, higher-foot-traffic blocks log more. Locations are approximate — the NYPD shifts each report to the nearest corner for privacy — so read this as rough context, not a safety score.

Violations issued by the Department of Buildings that the owner must correct. Most don't carry a fine on their own; summonses that go to a hearing and can be fined are listed separately under OATH/ECB.

Lost by default
These are separate from DOB violations. They are summonses written by DOB inspectors and decided at a hearing before OATH, the city's administrative court (formerly the Environmental Control Board), and they can carry a fine. "Lost by default" means the owner never appeared at the hearing. An unpaid balance is a stronger "ignoring the city" signal than a raw violation count.

Most cases are tenants taking the owner to court to force repairs. A case is not proof of wrongdoing; a harassment finding or judgment is a court ruling against the owner.

Heat / hot water
These are cases HPD is a party to, mostly tenants suing to force repairs or stop harassment. Eviction cases landlords file against tenants are not in the city's open data, so they don't appear here; the Evictions section shows only evictions a marshal carried out.

City debt & tax-lien sale
Flagged for the 2025 tax-lien sale
The owner owes enough in property taxes (and possibly water charges) to be listed for the city's tax-lien sale (most recently a 10-day notice). A listing can still be cured by paying or entering a payment plan.

From DOF lien-sale lists (2019–2025). Financial distress is not proof of neglect, but owners behind on what they owe the city more often let repairs slide. Debt may since have been paid.
