Questions about this building

Does 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn had 3 open violations on October 10, 2026: 3 from HPD. 3 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 2 years, since June 20, 2024.

Is 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 3 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 2 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 4 Class C violations, all 4 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 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 2 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued June 30, 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.

When did 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On January 21, 2026, 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.

Does 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn have a property tax exemption?

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

When was 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1982 as the year 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn 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 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 12 residential units at 290 Central Avenue, Brooklyn. 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, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, 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 OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB NOW work permits, 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.
