Is 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 155 certifications filed and 149 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 245 Class C violations: 67 by the original certify-by date, 178 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.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since December 5, 2017. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Does 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for March 29, 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 6 active DOB violations. The newest was issued September 21, 2026. 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 5 open housing court cases. The newest opened September 16, 2026. 56 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 11 DOB complaints, 1 of them conversion complaint, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 6, 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 19 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $18,999 in total. The most recent of the 19, a general construction order, was opened June 23, 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed June 2, 2025 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Safe in 2006 and SWARMP in 2012. 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for General Construction work, issued January 22, 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 2980 West 28 Street, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 45 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.
