What the record shows
Mark Furman holds 41 buildings with a current record and 1,940 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 421 East 114 Street accounts for 10% of it, while two of the 41 have nothing open at all. Tenants filed 1,683 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, spread across the portfolio rather than sitting in one address.
Where the buildings are 39 of the 41 buildings with a current record — 95% — are in Manhattan, with the rest spread across two other boroughs. Bronx accounts for 1; Brooklyn accounts for 1.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 421 East 114 Street alone carries 186 of them — 10% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and eight buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 413 East 114 Street with 144 and 126 East 103 Street with 142.
Violations per apartment Across 889 apartments the portfolio runs 2.18 open violations per unit. 26 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 2 of the 41 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 39 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 1,683 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.89 per apartment. The heaviest was 126 East 103 Street with 262. 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 1910, and 41 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 124 East 103 Street 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 1,621 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 287 of them — 18% — have since been cleared, and 1,331 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.
