Questions about this building
Does 2559 Decatur Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 2559 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?
Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 16 Class C violations: 9 by the original certify-by date, 7 after it. 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 2559 Decatur Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 2 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued June 20, 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.
Has 2559 Decatur Avenue, Bronx been in housing court?
Yes. 9 housing court cases here since 2013. 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.
When was the boiler at 2559 Decatur Avenue, Bronx last inspected?
