Questions about this building

Is 680 Monroe Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 13 certifications filed against 0 new Class C 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 680 Monroe Street, Brooklyn?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 33 Class C violations: 32 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 680 Monroe Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?
Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued June 30, 2023. 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 680 Monroe Street, Brooklyn marked completed?
Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $8,199 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened September 17, 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.
Is 680 Monroe 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.
