Questions about this building

Does 252 South Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 252 South Street, Manhattan had 73 open violations on October 10, 2026: 70 from HPD and 3 from OATH/ECB. 30 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 22 months, since December 9, 2024.

Is 252 South Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 36 certifications filed and 23 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. 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 252 South Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 46 Class C violations, all 46 by the original certify-by date. 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 252 South Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on November 12, 2026. 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 252 South Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 8 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued June 30, 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.

Is 252 South Street, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 3 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened August 20, 2026. 13 housing court cases here since 2022, most of them tenant actions. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 252 South Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 6 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $1,982 in total. The most recent of the 6, a general construction order, was opened February 11, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

What did the latest facade reports find at 252 South Street, Manhattan?

DOB lists No Report Filed for 2 buildings on this lot in inspection cycle 9. 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. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Does 252 South Street, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, renewed September 23, 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.

When did 252 South Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

Its 2 buildings had all filed by January 20, 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 252 South Street, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. On the covered list (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 252 South Street, 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 252 South Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 2015 as the year 252 South Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 72 floors.

How many apartments does 252 South Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 1,021 residential units at 252 South Street, 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, HPD emergency repair orders, 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, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
