Where the buildings are All 12 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. 556 West 156 Street alone carries 7 of them — 25% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and three buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 520 West 175 Street with 6 and 1838 Adam C Powell Blvd with 5.
Violations per apartment Across 108 apartments the portfolio runs 0.26 open violations per unit. one building averages at least one open violation for every apartment in it.
The split inside the portfolio 4 of the 12 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 8 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 29 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.27 per apartment. The heaviest was 520 West 175 Street with 12. 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 12 of 12 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 1838 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 25 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 13 of them — 52% — have since been cleared, and 12 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.
