Questions about this building

Does 280 East 166 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Is 280 East 166 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 15 certifications filed against 1 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 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 280 East 166 Street, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 39 Class C violations: 29 by the original certify-by date, 10 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.

Has 280 East 166 Street, Bronx been in housing court?

Yes. 2 housing court cases here since 2007, most of them heat and hot water cases. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 280 East 166 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened July 28, 2026, awarded for $295. 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 280 East 166 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Sidewalk Shed work, issued October 7, 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.

When did 280 East 166 Street, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 18, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 280 East 166 Street, Bronx 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.

Does 280 East 166 Street, Bronx have a property tax exemption?

The building has an Article XI tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 280 East 166 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1929 as the year 280 East 166 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 280 East 166 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 20 residential units at 280 East 166 Street, Bronx. 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 HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 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 HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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.
