Questions about this building

Does 475 16 Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 475 16 Street, Brooklyn had 49 open violations on October 10, 2026: 3 from OATH/ECB and 46 from HPD. 29 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 41 years, since April 29, 1985.

Is 475 16 Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 29 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 9 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.

Does 475 16 Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on December 2, 2026. 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.

Does 475 16 Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 29 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.

Is 475 16 Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened September 22, 2026. 2 housing court cases here since 2021. 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 475 16 Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 24, 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 475 16 Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a plumbing order, opened July 29, 2026, awarded for $5,000. 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 475 16 Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 475 16 Street, 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 4 floors.

How many apartments does 475 16 Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 8 residential units at 475 16 Street, 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 hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders 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 hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
