Questions about this building

Does 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn had 50 open violations on September 26, 2026: 2 from OATH/ECB and 48 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 8 certifications filed and 1 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 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations: 1 by the original certify-by date, 1 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.

Does 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for November 25, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 10 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued May 29, 2026. 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed April 15, 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 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $1,439 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened November 12, 2025. 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.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 3 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Antenna work, was issued July 28, 2026. 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 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, 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 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1930 as the year 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, 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 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 23 residential units at 556 Thomas S Boyland Street, Brooklyn. 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 hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, 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.
