Does 280 West 127 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 24 active DOB violations. 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 280 West 127 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed December 8, 2025. 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 280 West 127 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened December 1, 2023, awarded for $4,895. 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.

When was 280 West 127 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 280 West 127 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 280 West 127 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 4 residential units at 280 West 127 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 OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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 OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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.
