What the record shows

Where the buildings are 32 of the 60 buildings with a current record — 53% — are in Bronx, with the rest spread across two other boroughs. Manhattan accounts for 15; Brooklyn accounts for 13.

How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 506 West 173 Street alone carries 127 of them — 11% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and seven buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 2654 Marion Avenue with 117 and 951 East 179 Street with 100.

Violations per apartment Across 799 apartments the portfolio runs 1.43 open violations per unit. 25 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.

The split inside the portfolio 15 of the 60 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 45 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 2,989 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 3.74 per apartment. The heaviest was 515 6 Avenue with 790. 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 1912, and 58 of 60 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 1652 Park Avenue 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 2,695 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 1,753 of them — 65% — have since been cleared, and 941 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.
