Where the buildings are All 14 buildings sit in Brooklyn. A single-borough portfolio means one set of inspectors, one housing court, and one local complaint pattern behind every number on this page.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 315 South 5th Street alone carries 8 of them — 30% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and two buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 317 South 5th Street with 8 and 347 Grand Street with 7.
Violations per apartment Across 71 apartments the portfolio runs 0.38 open violations per unit. three buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 9 of the 14 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 5 do. Portfolio-level averages hide that split, which is why the list is worth reading one row at a time.
What tenants called in Tenants filed 21 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.30 per apartment. The heaviest was 179 Graham Avenue with 6. Complaints and violations are separate records — a complaint that closed without an inspector getting inside leaves no violation behind it.
Age of the stock The median building here went up in 1913, and 14 of 14 predate 1960. Pre-1960 buildings carry lead-paint and window-guard obligations that newer stock does not, which shapes what turns up in an inspection.
How long things stay open The longest-standing open item in the portfolio is at 315 South 5th Street and has been open 3.9 years. An old open violation is not a paperwork lag — it is a condition the city recorded and has not been shown to be corrected.
What has moved in the last two years 26 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 9 of them — 35% — have since been cleared, and 17 are still open. That ratio moves between city sweeps, which is why a standing total on its own says less than it looks like it does.
