Questions about this building

Does 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. On October 10, 2026, counting every year, HPD had 28 violations still open at 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn, the oldest filed on October 31, 2006. None was a Class B or C violation filed in the last 3 years, and no OATH/ECB summons issued in the last 3 years was still active.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, 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.

Has 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2012. 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed August 16, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Safe in 2006, SWARMP in 2013, Unsafe in 2019, and Safe in 2023. 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.

When was the boiler at 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn last inspected?

It has 3 boilers, all inspected in 2026, the latest on March 26. 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 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 2, 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 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered since 2024 (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.

When was 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1964 as the year 2940 West 5 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 23 floors.

How many apartments does 2940 West 5 Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 572 residential units at 2940 West 5 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, HPD's housing court cases, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, 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.
