Is 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 240 certifications filed against 56 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 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 461 Class C violations: 455 by the original certify-by date, 6 after it. HPD now marks 7 of them False Certification. 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 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx?

Yes. 10 HPD vacate orders are in effect here, all for part of the building. The latest, for part of the building, took effect September 23, 2026. 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 HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.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 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 30, 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 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 15 active DOB violations. The newest was issued August 2, 2024. 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.

Is 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx in housing court?

Yes. 3 open housing court cases, most of them tenant actions. The newest opened September 21, 2026. 313 housing court cases here since 2005, most of them tenant actions. 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 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx?

Yes. 33 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 17, 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 5 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $7,993 in total. The most recent of the 5, a general construction order, was opened July 12, 2025. 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.

What did the latest facade reports find at 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx?

4 buildings on this lot are rated Safe in their latest facade reports, the newest filed January 16, 2025 (inspection cycle 9). 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 40 Richman Plaza, Bronx?

Yes. 7 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Structural work, was issued October 6, 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.

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.

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