Questions about this building

Does 88 Bowery, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 88 Bowery, Manhattan had 24 open violations on October 10, 2026: 23 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 15 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since January 8, 2019.

Is 88 Bowery, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 15 open Class C, with 4 certifications filed and 3 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 88 Bowery, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 25 Class C violations, all 25 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 1 of them False Certification. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 88 Bowery, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 8 active DOB violations. The newest was issued April 25, 2023. 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 88 Bowery, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 3 housing court cases here since 2012, most of them access warrants. 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 88 Bowery, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 4, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

When was the boiler at 88 Bowery, Manhattan last inspected?

On June 1, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 88 Bowery, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On March 24, 2026, 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 88 Bowery, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered since 2024 (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.

When was 88 Bowery, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 88 Bowery, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a hotel with 6 floors.

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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection 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.
