Questions about this building

Does 550 East 170 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 550 East 170 Street, Bronx had 123 open violations on October 10, 2026: 121 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 42 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 2 years, since November 12, 2023.

Is 550 East 170 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 75 certifications filed against 23 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 550 East 170 Street, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 80 Class C violations: 76 by the original certify-by date, 4 after it. 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 550 East 170 Street, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on November 20, 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.

Has 550 East 170 Street, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 15 housing court cases here since 2013, 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 550 East 170 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 9, 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 550 East 170 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $11,070 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened June 17, 2026. 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 report find at 550 East 170 Street, Bronx?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed February 16, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Safe in 2017. 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.

Does 550 East 170 Street, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued July 17, 2012. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

When was the boiler at 550 East 170 Street, Bronx last inspected?

It has 3 boilers, all inspected in 2026, the latest on February 3. 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 550 East 170 Street, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 3, 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 550 East 170 Street, 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 550 East 170 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 550 East 170 Street, 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 550 East 170 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 2008 as the year 550 East 170 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 8 floors.

How many apartments does 550 East 170 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 98 residential units at 550 East 170 Street, 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, 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.
