Questions about this building
Does 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan had 20 open violations on September 26, 2026: 15 from HPD and 5 from OATH/ECB. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 6 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 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan?
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 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for November 2, 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 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 2 active DOB violations, most of them for construction. The newest was issued July 10, 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.
Is 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened November 1, 2024. 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.
Has DOB received complaints about 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 12 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed August 22, 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 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Sidewalk Shed work, issued September 21, 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 59 East 7 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 59 East 7 Street, Manhattan built?

Where do these numbers come from?

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.
