What the record shows
Mayer Kaufman holds 78 buildings with a current record and 1,319 open violations between them. The weight is not even: 1106 Remsen Avenue accounts for 22% of it, while 17 of the 78 have nothing open at all. Tenants filed 1,997 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, spread across the portfolio rather than sitting in one address.
Where the buildings are 59 of the 78 buildings with a current record — 76% — are in Bronx, with the rest spread across two other boroughs. Brooklyn accounts for 16; Manhattan accounts for 3.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 1106 Remsen Avenue alone carries 288 of them — 22% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and seven buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 1000 Woodycrest Avenue with 93 and 687 East 223 Street with 76.
Violations per apartment Across 1,419 apartments the portfolio runs 0.93 open violations per unit. 26 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 17 of the 78 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 61 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 1,997 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.41 per apartment. The heaviest was 1106 Remsen Avenue with 230. 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 1930, and 50 of 78 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 1540 Longfellow 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 2,950 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 2,102 of them — 71% — have since been cleared, and 848 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.
