What the record shows
Where the buildings are 21 of the 41 buildings with a current record — 51% — are in Brooklyn, with the rest spread across three other boroughs. Queens accounts for 12; Staten Island accounts for 5.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 4562 White Plains Road alone carries 40 of them — 35% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and two buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 2012 Benedict Avenue with 19 and 448 Decatur Street with 14.
Violations per apartment Across 80 apartments the portfolio runs 1.44 open violations per unit. nine buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 30 of the 41 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 11 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 30 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.38 per apartment. The heaviest was 664 New Jersey Avenue with 8. 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 1940, and 24 of 41 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 4562 White Plains Road and has been open 3.6 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 110 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 35 of them — 32% — have since been cleared, and 75 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.
