Lower East Side, Manhattan

    Lower East Side neighborhood report on Brix — violations, complaints, and landlord history for buildings in this area.

    Brix tracks 1,185 buildings in Lower East Side, covering 36,957 apartments. Across them there are 4,152 open HPD violations, and 252 buildings carry at least one Class C hazard — the immediately hazardous tier covering things like no heat, no hot water, and lead paint.

    Tenants filed 6,608 complaints against Lower East Side buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.18 per apartment. Complaints and violations are separate records: a complaint that closes without an inspector getting inside leaves no violation behind.

    The pattern in Lower East Side is immediately hazardous violations (253 buildings), mold & leaks (144 buildings), and no heat or hot water (72 buildings). Those are the issue groups with the most buildings behind them here, not a ranking of severity.

    The addresses carrying the most open violations in Lower East Side right now:

    A high count usually means an older building with a long-running record, not necessarily the worst place to live — the building's own page shows what the violations are and whether they're being cleared.
