Is 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 42 certifications filed against 7 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 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 28 Class C violations: 27 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. HPD now marks 1 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 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since December 6, 2016. Reason on the order: habitability. 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 HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.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 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 20 active DOB violations. The newest was issued September 12, 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 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened July 9, 2026. 5 housing court cases here since 2007. 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 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 11 DOB complaints, 2 of them conversion complaints, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 15, 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 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 1, 2024, awarded for $295. 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 was the boiler at 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

On December 10, 2025. 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.

How many apartments does 233 East 4 Street, Manhattan have?

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.
