What the record shows

Carmine Limited holds 11 buildings with a current record and 28 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 242 West 10 Street accounts for 71% of it, while seven of the 11 have nothing open at all. Tenant complaints run the same way — 46 in the last 12 months, 35% of them from 242 West 10 Street alone.

Where the buildings are All 11 buildings sit in Manhattan. 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. 242 West 10 Street alone carries 20 of them — 71% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and one building holds half of the total. Behind it sit 1435 1 Avenue with 5 and 417 East 65 Street with 2.

Violations per apartment Across 300 apartments the portfolio runs 0.09 open violations per unit. No single building in the portfolio averages a full open violation per apartment.

The split inside the portfolio 7 of the 11 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 4 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 46 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.15 per apartment. The heaviest was 242 West 10 Street with 16. 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 1910, and 11 of 11 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 417 East 65 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 67 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 39 of them — 58% — have since been cleared, and 26 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.
