What the record shows
Where the buildings are 22 of the 31 buildings with a current record — 71% — are in Brooklyn, with the rest spread across one other borough. Manhattan accounts for 9.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 50 East 19 Street alone carries 173 of them — 14% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and seven buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 2110 Newkirk Avenue with 91 and 465 Ocean Avenue with 90.
Violations per apartment Across 1,298 apartments the portfolio runs 0.93 open violations per unit. 13 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 1 of the 31 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 30 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 2,185 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.68 per apartment. The heaviest was 560 West 174 Street with 157. 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 1927, and 29 of 31 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 535 West 162 Street and has been open 4.0 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 2,807 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 1,878 of them — 67% — have since been cleared, and 925 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.
