What the record shows

Where the buildings are 6 of the 8 buildings with a current record — 75% — are in Bronx, with the rest spread across one other borough. Brooklyn accounts for 2.

How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 1211 Wheeler Avenue alone carries 56 of them — 37% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and two buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 1690 Clay Avenue with 42 and 1219 Wheeler Avenue with 25.

Violations per apartment Across 123 apartments the portfolio runs 1.22 open violations per unit. three buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.

What tenants called in Tenants filed 136 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.11 per apartment. The heaviest was 1211 Wheeler Avenue with 46. 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 7 of 8 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 387 Shepherd Avenue and has been open 3.6 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 234 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 124 of them — 53% — have since been cleared, and 110 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.
