Questions about this building
Does 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx had 17 open violations on September 26, 2026: 17 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 4 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 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 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 2 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued June 20, 2023. 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened August 12, 2024, awarded for $585. 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 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued October 20, 2014. 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.
Is 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx 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 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx built?
The city's record gives 1931 as the year 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx 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 5 floors.
How many apartments does 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 11 residential units at 475 Brook Avenue, Bronx. 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 DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
