Questions about this building

Does 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. On October 10, 2026, counting every year, HPD had 3 violations still open at 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan, the oldest filed on November 20, 2019. None was a Class B or C violation filed in the last 3 years, and no OATH/ECB summons issued in the last 3 years was still active.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan?

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.

Has DOB received complaints about 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed August 3, 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 DOB work permits in effect at 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for General Construction work, issued October 28, 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.

When was the boiler at 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan last inspected?

On April 11, 2025. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On December 31, 2025, 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 551 Hudson 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 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1901 as the year 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 551 Hudson Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 20 residential units at 551 Hudson 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 OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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 complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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.
