Questions about this building
Does 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn have open violations?
Yes. 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn had 18 open violations on September 26, 2026: 15 from HPD and 3 from OATH/ECB. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 10 certifications filed against 1 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 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 78 Class C violations, all 78 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 3 of them False Certification and 1 Invalid 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.
Does 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for 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.
Does 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?
Yes. 20 active DOB violations, most of them for boiler filings under Local Law 62/91. The newest was issued April 22, 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 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn?
Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed September 24, 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 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn marked completed?
Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $1,678 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened October 15, 2025. 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 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn?
Rated Unsafe in the latest facade report, filed April 22, 2025 (inspection cycle 10). 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.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn?
Yes. 3 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued August 31, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
Is 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn 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 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn 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 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn built?
The city's record gives 1927 as the year 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.
How many apartments does 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 135 residential units at 240 Crown Street, Brooklyn. 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, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
