Questions about this building

Does 518 East 138 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 518 East 138 Street, Bronx had 27 open violations on September 26, 2026: 27 from HPD. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 518 East 138 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 16 certifications filed against 5 new Class C 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 518 East 138 Street, Bronx?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 41 Class C violations: 37 by the original certify-by date, 4 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 518 East 138 Street, Bronx in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened October 3, 2023. 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 DOB work permits in effect at 518 East 138 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Solar work, issued October 2, 2025. 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.

Is 518 East 138 Street, 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 518 East 138 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1906 as the year 518 East 138 Street, 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 6 floors.

How many apartments does 518 East 138 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 23 residential units at 518 East 138 Street, 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 HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits 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.
