What the record shows

The weight is not even: 133 West 144 Street accounts for 22% of it, while five of the 18 have nothing open at all. Tenant complaints run the same way — 374 in the last 12 months, 22% of them from 2441 Adam C Powell Blvd alone.
Where the buildings are All 18 buildings sit in Manhattan. A single-borough portfolio means one set of inspectors, one housing court, and one local complaint pattern behind every number on this page.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 133 West 144 Street alone carries 49 of them — 22% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and three buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 131 West 143 Street with 39 and 2441 Adam C Powell Blvd with 35.
Violations per apartment Across 325 apartments the portfolio runs 0.68 open violations per unit. four buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
The split inside the portfolio 5 of the 18 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 13 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 374 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.15 per apartment. The heaviest was 2441 Adam C Powell Blvd with 81. 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 1920, and 18 of 18 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 2441 Adam C Powell Blvd and has been open 3.5 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 543 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 321 of them — 59% — have since been cleared, and 222 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.
