Is 591 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 14 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 5 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 591 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, after 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.
Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 591 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx?
Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since March 1, 2023. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.
Does 591 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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 591 Van Nest Avenue, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $8,175 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened August 21, 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.
