That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

Does 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on November 9, 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.

Is 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases. The newest opened June 29, 2026. 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 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months, 1 of them conversion complaint. The newest was filed December 15, 2025. 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 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1955 as the year 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a three-family dwelling with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 1139 East 81 Street, Brooklyn. 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own records are the authority on what is open today.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints 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.
