What the record shows
Durst Organization holds 33 buildings with a current record and 39 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 404 West 44 Street accounts for 21% of it, while 22 of the 33 have nothing open at all. Tenant complaints run the same way — 134 in the last 12 months, 28% of them from 26-01 1 Street alone.
Where the buildings are 29 of the 33 buildings with a current record — 88% — are in Manhattan, with the rest spread across one other borough. Queens accounts for 4.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 404 West 44 Street alone carries 8 of them — 21% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and three buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 26-01 1 Street with 8 and 213 Front Street with 6.
Violations per apartment Across 3,860 apartments the portfolio runs 0.01 open violations per unit. one building averages at least one open violation for every apartment in it.
The split inside the portfolio 22 of the 33 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 11 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 134 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.03 per apartment. The heaviest was 26-01 1 Street with 38. 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 1920, and 22 of 33 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 404 West 44 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 55 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 32 of them — 58% — have since been cleared, and 23 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.
