Questions about this building

Does 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx had 8 open violations on October 10, 2026: 7 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 6 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 13 years, since June 10, 2013.

Is 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 16 certifications filed against 2 new Class C 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 17 Class C violations, all 17 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for December 15, 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 17 active DOB violations. The newest was issued February 15, 2026. 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 3 housing court cases here since 2009. 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 4 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 16, 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx?

No Report Filed for inspection cycle 9. Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Unsafe in 2016 and Safe in 2018. 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 3 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued September 16, 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 did 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 24, 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 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted building (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). 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.

Does 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx have a property tax exemption?

The building has a redevelopment company tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1923 as the year 547 Cauldwell 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 5 floors.

How many apartments does 547 Cauldwell Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 39 residential units at 547 Cauldwell 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, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list 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.
