Questions about this building

Does 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn had 9 open violations on October 10, 2026: 9 from HPD. 5 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 15 months, since June 23, 2025.

Is 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 5 open Class C, with 3 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.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations, all 5 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 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 17 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. 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 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 3 housing court cases here since 2021, most of them tenant actions. 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 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed April 11, 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 reports find at 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn?

255 Havermeyer Street is rated Unsafe in its latest facade report, filed February 9, 2026 (inspection cycle 9). 1 other building on this lot is rated SWARMP, and 1 is rated Safe. 2 reports in this cycle have rated 255 Havermeyer Street Unsafe, the first filed February 21, 2024. Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated 255 Havermeyer Street Safe in 2006, Unsafe in 2013 and 2016, and Safe in 2018. 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.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 6 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for General Construction 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.

When did 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

Its 3 buildings had all filed by December 19, 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 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered as a city-owned or NYCHA building (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 225 Division 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 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1963 as the year 225 Division 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 21 floors.

How many apartments does 225 Division Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 348 residential units at 225 Division 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, 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/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'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.
