    What the record shows

    Joseph Safdie holds 37 buildings with a current record and 381 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 561 6 Avenue accounts for 16% of it, while 16 of the 37 have nothing open at all. Tenant complaints run the same way — 816 in the last 12 months, 34% of them from 2342 Atlantic Avenue alone.

    Where the buildings are 19 of the 37 buildings with a current record — 51% — are in Brooklyn, with the rest spread across two other boroughs. The Bronx accounts for 16; Queens accounts for 2.

    How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 561 6 Avenue alone carries 62 of them — 16% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and four buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 2342 Atlantic Avenue with 56 and 677 Sterling Place with 53.

    Violations per apartment Across 281 apartments the portfolio runs 1.36 open violations per unit. 15 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.

    The split inside the portfolio 16 of the 37 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 21 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 816 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 2.90 per apartment. The heaviest was 2342 Atlantic Avenue with 276. 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 1931, and 26 of 37 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 202 Gravesend Neck Road 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 1,014 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 781 of them — 77% — have since been cleared, and 233 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.
