Questions about this building
Does 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan had 20 open violations on September 26, 2026: 17 from HPD and 3 from OATH/ECB. 14 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 13 new Class C against 6 certifications filed 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 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations, all 5 by the original certify-by date. 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.
Does 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 8 active DOB violations, most of them for elevator affirmations of correction. The newest was issued October 4, 2023. 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 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened June 2, 2026. 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 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the last 12 months. It was filed February 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 did the latest facade report find at 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan?
Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed October 11, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. 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.
What is the ENERGY STAR score for 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan?
ENERGY STAR score 100 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 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2026 as a rent-regulated building (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 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan 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 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan built?
The city's record gives 1922 as the year 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 9 floors.
How many apartments does 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 37 residential units at 244 West 74 Street, Manhattan. 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 DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, 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.
