Questions about this building
Does 2872 Brighton 4 Street, Brooklyn have open violations?
Yes. 2872 Brighton 4 Street, Brooklyn had 13 open violations on September 26, 2026: 13 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 2872 Brighton 4 Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. 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 2872 Brighton 4 Street, Brooklyn?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 21 Class C violations, all 21 by the original certify-by date. 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 2872 Brighton 4 Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?
Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for construction. The newest was issued December 28, 2011. 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 2872 Brighton 4 Street, Brooklyn?
Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the last 12 months. It was filed September 5, 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.
Is 2872 Brighton 4 Street, 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.
