Is 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 18 open Class C, with 5 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations: 1 by the original certify-by date, 1 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.
Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?
Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since February 16, 2022. Reason on the order: fire damage. 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 HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.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 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for January 22, 2027. 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.
Is 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened August 1, 2024. 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 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?
Yes. 4 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed April 25, 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 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $6,694 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened June 27, 2024. 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.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 2720 Decatur Avenue, Bronx?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for General Construction work, issued August 13, 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.
