What the record shows
Where the buildings are 20 of the 29 buildings with a current record — 69% — are in Manhattan, with the rest spread across three other boroughs. Brooklyn accounts for 5; Bronx accounts for 2.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 1610 Mahan Avenue alone carries 24 of them — 44% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and two buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 151 Norfolk Street with 10 and 2475 Palisade Avenue with 9.
Violations per apartment Across 531 apartments the portfolio runs 0.10 open violations per unit. one building averages at least one open violation for every apartment in it.
The split inside the portfolio 22 of the 29 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 7 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 206 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.39 per apartment. The heaviest was 56 Bennett Avenue with 70. 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 1906, and 29 of 29 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 1610 Mahan 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 196 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 154 of them — 79% — have since been cleared, and 42 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.
