Questions about this building
Does 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?
Yes. 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn had 20 open violations on September 26, 2026: 20 from HPD. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 4 certifications filed and 4 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 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 6 Class C violations, all 6 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 2 of them False Certification and 1 Invalid Certification. 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 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?
Yes. 5 active DOB violations, most of them for boiler filings under Local Law 62/91. The newest was issued August 10, 2016. 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 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened May 14, 2026, awarded for $289. 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 566 Greene Avenue, 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 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn built?
The city's record gives 1931 as the year 566 Greene Avenue, 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 566 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 12 residential units at 566 Greene Avenue, 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 DOB violations, 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.
