Questions about this building

Does 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan had 17 open violations on September 26, 2026: 17 from HPD. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 7 certifications filed and 6 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. 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 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 13 Class C violations, all 13 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 DOB received complaints about 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the last 12 months, a conversion complaint. It was filed April 1, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened November 9, 2023, awarded for $334. 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.

Is 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan 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 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1913 as the year 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan 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 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 10 residential units at 528 West 159 Street, Manhattan. 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 complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
