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

    Brix tracks 1,634 buildings in Midtown, covering 83,551 apartments. Across them there are 5,240 open HPD violations, and 299 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 11,559 complaints against Midtown buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.14 per apartment. Complaints and violations are separate records: a complaint that closes without an inspector getting inside leaves no violation behind.

    The pattern in Midtown is immediately hazardous violations (287 buildings), mold & leaks (186 buildings), and buildings getting worse (143 buildings). Those are the issue groups with the most buildings behind them here, not a ranking of severity.
