Questions about this building

Does 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx had 2 open violations on October 10, 2026: 1 from OATH/ECB and 1 from HPD. None is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 9 years, since October 1, 2017.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 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 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 2 active DOB violations. The newest was issued November 30, 2007. 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 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2018. 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed December 2, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Unsafe in 2008, Safe in 2011 and 2012, and SWARMP in 2018. 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 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 7 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued July 23, 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.

When was the boiler at 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx last inspected?

On January 21, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 10, 2025, 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 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx 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 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1927 as the year 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 1378 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 19 residential units at 1378 Shakespeare 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/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 boiler inspection reports, 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/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 boiler inspection reports, 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.
