Does 254 New York Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 11 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 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.

Is 254 New York Avenue, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened September 25, 2025. 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.

Is 254 New York Avenue, 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 254 New York Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1904 as the year 254 New York Avenue, Brooklyn 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 4 floors.

How many apartments does 254 New York Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 8 residential units at 254 New York Avenue, 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 DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. 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.
