Questions about this building
Does 219 East 196 Street, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 219 East 196 Street, Bronx had 26 open violations on September 26, 2026: 24 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 15 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 219 East 196 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 34 certifications filed against 10 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 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 219 East 196 Street, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 14 Class C violations, all 14 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 219 East 196 Street, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for October 2, 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 219 East 196 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 2 active DOB violations. The newest was issued April 29, 2021. 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 219 East 196 Street, Bronx?
Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed July 20, 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.
What is the ENERGY STAR score for 219 East 196 Street, Bronx?
ENERGY STAR score 84 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.
Is 219 East 196 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 219 East 196 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 219 East 196 Street, Bronx built?
The city's record gives 1923 as the year 219 East 196 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 5 floors.
How many apartments does 219 East 196 Street, Bronx have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 54 residential units at 219 East 196 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, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 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.
