What the record shows
Where the buildings are All 20 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. 1240 Gates Avenue alone carries 47 of them — 16% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and four buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 200 Palmetto Street with 37 and 575 Central Avenue with 36.
Violations per apartment Across 815 apartments the portfolio runs 0.36 open violations per unit. No single building in the portfolio averages a full open violation per apartment.
The split inside the portfolio 2 of the 20 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 18 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 369 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.45 per apartment. The heaviest was 333 Wilson Avenue with 61. 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 1983, and 2 of 20 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 575 Central 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 282 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 204 of them — 72% — have since been cleared, and 77 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.
