Questions about this building
Does 705 East 189 Street, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 705 East 189 Street, Bronx had 18 open violations on September 26, 2026: 18 from HPD. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 705 East 189 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 18 certifications filed against 2 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 705 East 189 Street, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 23 Class C violations, all 23 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 705 East 189 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 2 active DOB violations. 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.
Is 705 East 189 Street, Bronx in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened August 21, 2023. 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 705 East 189 Street, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened May 15, 2026, awarded for $2,845. 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 705 East 189 Street, Bronx 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 705 East 189 Street, Bronx built?
The city's record gives 1931 as the year 705 East 189 Street, Bronx 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 3 floors.
How many apartments does 705 East 189 Street, Bronx have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 6 residential units at 705 East 189 Street, Bronx. 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, HPD's housing court cases, 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.
