What the record shows

Where the buildings are All 14 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. 78 Throop Avenue alone carries 8 of them — 20% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and three buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 72 Throop Avenue with 8 and 70 Throop Avenue with 8.

Violations per apartment Across 54 apartments the portfolio runs 0.76 open violations per unit. five buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.

The split inside the portfolio 7 of the 14 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 7 do. Portfolio-level averages hide that split, which is why the list is worth reading one row at a time.

Age of the stock The median building here went up in 2013, and 0 of 14 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 78 Throop 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 24 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 1 of them — 4% — 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.
