Ariel Belen is listed in NYC building registrations or deeds for 3 buildings. Brix tracks 601 open violations across the buildings listed below, with an adjusted rating of concerning.
Ariel Belen holds 3 buildings with a current record and 601 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 1235 Morris Avenue accounts for 62% of it, while zero of the 3 have nothing open at all. Tenant complaints run the same way — 178 in the last 12 months, 49% of them from 2028 Valentine Avenue alone.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 1235 Morris Avenue alone carries 375 of them — 62% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and one building holds half of the total. Behind it sit 214 East 168 Street with 158 and 2028 Valentine Avenue with 68.
Violations per apartment Across 161 apartments the portfolio runs 3.73 open violations per unit. three buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
What tenants called in Tenants filed 178 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.11 per apartment. The heaviest was 2028 Valentine Avenue with 88. Complaints and violations are separate records — a complaint that closed without an inspector getting inside leaves no violation behind it.
How long things stay open The longest-standing open item in the portfolio is at 1235 Morris Avenue 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 897 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 581 of them — 65% — have since been cleared, and 316 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.
How buildings are linked: by HPD registration, deed, or a confirmed parent company. Being named as a head officer or managing agent is not the same as owning.
