Does 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Has 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2007. 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.

Does 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued September 15, 2023. 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 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On May 14, 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.

When was 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1900 as the year 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 4.5 floors.

How many apartments does 212 East 70 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 16 residential units at 212 East 70 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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.
