Questions about this building

Does 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn had 54 open violations on October 10, 2026: 50 from HPD and 4 from OATH/ECB. 19 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 8 years, since May 19, 2018.

Is 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 19 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 1 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 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for January 19, 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 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 21 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.

Has 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2022. 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 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed August 18, 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn?

Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed January 4, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Unsafe in 2007 and 2012, and Safe in 2014 and 2017. SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. 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.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 88 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 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn last inspected?

It has 4 boilers, all inspected in 2026, the latest on April 28. 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 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 30, 2024, for the year to October 31, 2024. 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 550 Greene Avenue, 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 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have a property tax exemption?

The building has a 420-c tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1984 as the year 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 7 floors.

How many apartments does 550 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 151 residential units at 550 Greene 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 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, 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, 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.
