Is 59 Rear Bayard Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 16 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. 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 Rear Bayard Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 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.
Does 59 Rear Bayard Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 6 active DOB violations, most of them for boiler filings under Local Law 62/91. The newest was issued November 14, 2018. 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 Rear Bayard Street, Manhattan in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened April 5, 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 59 Rear Bayard Street, Manhattan marked completed?
Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $1,475 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened June 5, 2024. 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.
