Questions about this building

Does 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan had 1 open violation on October 10, 2026: 1 from OATH/ECB. None is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Does 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for January 7, 2027. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for elevators. The newest was issued January 11, 2013. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2025. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

What did the latest facade report find at 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan?

Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed February 17, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it SWARMP in 2006, Unsafe in 2012, and Safe in 2017. SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan?

Yes. 5 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Mechanical Systems work, was issued July 24, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

Does 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, renewed September 14, 2026. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan?

ENERGY STAR score 67 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When did 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On December 2, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 57 floors.

How many apartments does 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 762 residential units at 20 Exchange Place, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
