The City Of New York

The City Of New York is listed in NYC building registrations or deeds for the buildings below. 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.

What the record shows

Where the buildings are 334 of the 541 buildings with a current record — 62% — are in Brooklyn, with the rest spread across four other boroughs. Manhattan accounts for 117; Bronx accounts for 79.

How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 2201 Davidson Avenue alone carries 742 of them — 8% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and 34 buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 772 East 168 Street with 579 and 444 Lexington Avenue with 229.

Violations per apartment Across 11,563 apartments the portfolio runs 0.84 open violations per unit. 188 buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.

The split inside the portfolio 167 of the 541 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 374 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 11,450 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.99 per apartment. The heaviest was 40 W Mosholu Parkway S with 665. 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 1925, and 451 of 541 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 2201 Davidson 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 12,467 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 6,214 of them — 50% — have since been cleared, and 6,235 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.
