The J. R. Greenfeld Family Trust 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.
Where the buildings are 3 of the 4 buildings with a current record — 75% — are in Brooklyn, with the rest spread across one other borough. Manhattan accounts for 1.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 480 Bushwick Avenue alone carries 84 of them — 60% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and one building holds half of the total. Behind it sit 534 West 187 Street with 33 and 1647 Park Place with 14.
Violations per apartment Across 21 apartments the portfolio runs 6.62 open violations per unit. four buildings average at least one open violation for every apartment in them.
What tenants called in Tenants filed 38 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 1.81 per apartment. The heaviest was 534 West 187 Street with 20. 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 3 of 4 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 47a Lynch Street and has been open 3.9 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 100 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 31 of them — 31% — have since been cleared, and 69 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.
