Questions about this building
Does 707 East 242 Street, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 707 East 242 Street, Bronx had 19 open violations on September 26, 2026: 15 from HPD and 4 from OATH/ECB. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 707 East 242 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 21 certifications filed against 3 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 707 East 242 Street, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 142 Class C violations: 133 by the original certify-by date, 9 after it. HPD now marks 1 of them False Certification. 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 707 East 242 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 6 active DOB violations. The newest was issued July 24, 2024. 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 707 East 242 Street, Bronx in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened November 3, 2025. 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 707 East 242 Street, Bronx?
Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed June 25, 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 HPD emergency repair orders at 707 East 242 Street, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened March 12, 2025, awarded for $2,000. 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 707 East 242 Street, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.
Is 707 East 242 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 707 East 242 Street, Bronx built?
The city's record gives 1940 as the year 707 East 242 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.
How many apartments does 707 East 242 Street, Bronx have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 67 residential units at 707 East 242 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, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list 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.
