Is 54 East 179 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 1 open Class C, with 7 certifications filed and 1 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 54 East 179 Street, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations, all 2 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.

Has 54 East 179 Street, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 12 housing court cases here since 2005. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 54 East 179 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened November 16, 2024, awarded for $440. 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 the boiler at 54 East 179 Street, Bronx last inspected?

On December 16, 2025. 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 54 East 179 Street, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 11, 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 54 East 179 Street, 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.

Does 54 East 179 Street, Bronx have a property tax exemption?

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

When was 54 East 179 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1923 as the year 54 East 179 Street, 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 5 floors.

How many apartments does 54 East 179 Street, Bronx have?

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, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
