Is 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 34 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 6 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.

Does 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?

Yes. 8 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued December 1, 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints, 1 of them conversion complaint, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed December 1, 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 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $11,258 in total. The most recent of the 4, a lead paint order, was opened February 24, 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.

When did 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On May 13, 2026, 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.

When was 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1906 as the year 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a residence with stores or offices with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 589 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 4 residential units at 589 Van Nest 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, 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, DOB violations, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
