Is 620 East 178 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 10 new Class C against 0 certifications filed 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.

Does 620 East 178 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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 620 East 178 Street, Bronx in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened August 20, 2024. 23 housing court cases here since 2006. 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 620 East 178 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed October 25, 2025. 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 620 East 178 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 14 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $19,504 in total. The most recent of the 14, a general construction order, was opened December 17, 2024. 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 is the ENERGY STAR score for 620 East 178 Street, Bronx?

ENERGY STAR score 33 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When did 620 East 178 Street, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 16, 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 620 East 178 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 620 East 178 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.

When was 620 East 178 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1928 as the year 620 East 178 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 620 East 178 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 47 residential units at 620 East 178 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy 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.
