Has 972 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 972 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: opened July 1, 2024, awarded for $1. 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 972 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1923 as the year 972 Montgomery 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 2 floors.

How many apartments does 972 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 5 residential units at 972 Montgomery 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, 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, HPD's housing court cases, 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.
