German American Capital Corporation appears on NYC building registrations and deeds as a lender, mortgagee, or party of record — not as an operating landlord. The buildings below list German American Capital Corporation in city records.
Where the buildings are 5 of the 7 buildings with a current record — 71% — are in Brooklyn, with the rest spread across one other borough. Manhattan accounts for 2.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 137 Rivington Street alone carries 17 of them — 71% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and one building holds half of the total. Behind it sit 102 Eagle Street with 4 and 777 Avenue Of The Amer with 3.
Violations per apartment Across 343 apartments the portfolio runs 0.07 open violations per unit. No single building in the portfolio averages a full open violation per apartment.
The split inside the portfolio 4 of the 7 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 3 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 39 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.11 per apartment. The heaviest was 137 Rivington Street with 27. 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 1930, and 5 of 7 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 137 Rivington 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 38 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 27 of them — 71% — have since been cleared, and 11 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.
