What the record shows
Where the buildings are All 18 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. 1480 St Johns Place alone carries 237 of them — 33% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and two buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 1470 St Johns Place with 159 and 554 St Johns Place with 99.
Violations per apartment Across 207 apartments the portfolio runs 3.51 open violations per unit. ten buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 6 of the 18 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 12 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 735 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 3.55 per apartment. The heaviest was 1480 St Johns Place with 355. 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 1931, and 18 of 18 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 1448 Dean 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 831 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 321 of them — 39% — have since been cleared, and 509 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.
