Questions about this building

Does 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn had 111 open violations on October 10, 2026: 98 from HPD and 13 from OATH/ECB. 39 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since March 26, 2019.

Is 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 20 certifications filed and 12 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. 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 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 85 Class C violations: 80 by the original certify-by date, 5 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.

Does 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on January 11, 2027. 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 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 18 active DOB violations. The newest was issued September 26, 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 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened June 18, 2026. 22 housing court cases here since 2005. 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 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 13 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed August 21, 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 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 5 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $3,257 in total. The most recent of the 5, a general construction order, was opened February 11, 2026. 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn?

Rated Unsafe in the latest facade report, filed March 12, 2026 (inspection cycle 9). 2 reports in this cycle have rated it Unsafe, the first filed March 14, 2023. Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Unsafe in 2007 and 2018. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 9 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Supported Scaffold work, was issued September 10, 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.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 12 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When was the boiler at 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2026, the latest on January 16. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 31, 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 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Does 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn have a property tax exemption?

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

When was 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1973 as the year 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 33 floors.

How many apartments does 49 Crown Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 321 residential units at 49 Crown 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, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list 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, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list 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.
