What the record shows
Centennial Properties holds 136 buildings with a current record and 1,950 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 326 East 100 Street accounts for 11% of it, while 15 of the 136 have nothing open at all. Tenants filed 5,186 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, spread across the portfolio rather than sitting in one address.
Where the buildings are All 136 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. 326 East 100 Street alone carries 212 of them — 11% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and 11 buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 212 East 105 Street with 142 and 354 Lenox Avenue with 137.
Violations per apartment Across 2,348 apartments the portfolio runs 0.83 open violations per unit. 35 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 15 of the 136 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 121 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 5,186 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 2.21 per apartment. The heaviest was 326 East 100 Street with 738. 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 1905, and 135 of 135 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 14 East 72 Street and has been open 4.0 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 3,688 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 2,115 of them — 57% — have since been cleared, and 1,551 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.
