Ben Schwadel is listed in NYC building registrations or deeds for the buildings below. 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.
Where the buildings are 6 of the 13 buildings with a current record — 46% — are in Bronx, with the rest spread across three other boroughs. Brooklyn accounts for 3; Queens accounts for 3.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 430 East 138 Street alone carries 73 of them — 26% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and three buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 254 East 56 Street with 51 and 177-50 South Conduit Avenue with 44.
Violations per apartment Across 406 apartments the portfolio runs 0.69 open violations per unit. three buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 1 of the 13 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 425 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.05 per apartment. The heaviest was 430 East 138 Street with 98. 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 1924, and 10 of 13 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 900 East 167 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 550 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 404 of them — 73% — have since been cleared, and 146 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.
