Questions about this building
Does 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?
Yes. 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn had 42 open violations on September 26, 2026: 1 from OATH/ECB and 41 from HPD. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 13 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 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 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 after 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 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?
Yes. 5 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.
Is 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened January 29, 2024. 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?
Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $5,075 in total. The most recent of the 3, a lead paint order, was opened September 11, 2024. 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.
Does 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued June 9, 2016. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.
What is the ENERGY STAR score for 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn?
ENERGY STAR score 99 for 2024, against a median of 69 for K-12 School 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.
Is 415 Ovington 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.
Is 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn 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 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn built?
The city's record gives 1925 as the year 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 4 floors.
How many apartments does 415 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn have?

Where do these numbers come from?

It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 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.
