What the record shows

Stagg Group holds 163 buildings with a current record and 321 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 1402 Nelson Avenue accounts for 7% of it, while 101 of the 163 have nothing open at all. Tenants filed 3,972 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, spread across the portfolio rather than sitting in one address.

Where the buildings are 162 of the 163 buildings with a current record — 99% — are in Bronx, with the rest spread across one other borough. Queens accounts for 1.

How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 1402 Nelson Avenue alone carries 21 of them — 7% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and 15 buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 3482 Ft Independence St with 14 and 1907 Southern Boulevard with 13.

Violations per apartment Across 3,996 apartments the portfolio runs 0.08 open violations per unit. seven buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.

The split inside the portfolio 101 of the 163 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 62 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 3,972 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.99 per apartment. The heaviest was 150 Van Cortlandt Ave East with 237. 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 2008, and 3 of 163 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 3961 Carpenter Avenue and has been open 3.8 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 2,455 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 2,215 of them — 90% — have since been cleared, and 238 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.
