Questions about this building

Does 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx had 21 open violations on September 26, 2026: 20 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 26, 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 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 11 Class C violations, all 11 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.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for the entire building has been in effect since January 25, 2018. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Does 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 10 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened August 31, 2024, awarded for $2,530. 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.

When was 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1911 as the year 1547 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 apartment building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 1547 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 12 residential units at 1547 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 HPD vacate orders, DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders 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 page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD vacate orders, DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
