Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 1, 2024, awarded for $850. 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 report find at 839 West End Avenue, Manhattan?
Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed December 12, 2025 (inspection cycle 10). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Safe in 2007, SWARMP in 2012, Safe in 2016, Unsafe in 2021, and Safe in 2024. 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 839 West End Avenue, Manhattan?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for General Construction work, 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.
What is the ENERGY STAR score for 839 West End Avenue, Manhattan?
ENERGY STAR score 80 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 was the boiler at 839 West End Avenue, Manhattan last inspected?

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 839 West End Avenue, Manhattan rent stabilized?

It also draws on 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, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, 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.
