Questions about this building

Does 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx had 19 open violations on October 10, 2026: 1 from OATH/ECB and 18 from HPD. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 9 years, since October 17, 2016.

Is 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 28 certifications filed against 12 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 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 26 Class C violations, all 26 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 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for December 4, 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened December 8, 2025, awarded for $1,550. 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 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2026, the latest on March 5. 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 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 5, 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 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (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.

Is 1512 Townsend 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.

Does 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx have a property tax exemption?

The building has a 420-c tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1926 as the year 1512 Townsend 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 6 floors.

How many apartments does 1512 Townsend Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 105 residential units at 1512 Townsend 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, 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, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list, 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, 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, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list, 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.
