Questions about this building

Does 47-55 39 Place, Queens have open violations?

Yes. 47-55 39 Place, Queens had 6 open violations on October 10, 2026: 2 from OATH/ECB and 4 from HPD. None of them is Class C, but counting every year, HPD has 1 Class C violation still open here. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 30 years, since June 20, 1996.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 47-55 39 Place, Queens?

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 47-55 39 Place, Queens have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations. The newest was issued May 2, 2024. 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.

What did the latest facade report find at 47-55 39 Place, Queens?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed February 15, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Unsafe in 2007, and Safe in 2008, 2012 and 2016. 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 did 47-55 39 Place, Queens last file its bedbug report?

On May 29, 2026, 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 47-55 39 Place, Queens covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2026 as a rent-regulated 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.

Is 47-55 39 Place, Queens rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 47-55 39 Place, Queens built?

The city's record gives 1939 as the year 47-55 39 Place, Queens was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 47-55 39 Place, Queens have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 47 residential units at 47-55 39 Place, Queens. 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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.
