Questions about this building

Does 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx had 6 open violations on October 10, 2026: 4 from OATH/ECB and 2 from HPD. 2 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since August 30, 2019.

Is 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 2 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. 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 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 6 Class C violations, all 6 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 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 16, 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 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued May 3, 2024. 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 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 2 housing court cases here since 2019, 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 9 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 1, 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 did 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On April 30, 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 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1927 as the year 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 2 floors.

How many apartments does 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 4 residential units at 1220 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx. 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, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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.
