Questions about this building
Does 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan had 25 open violations on September 26, 2026: 7 from OATH/ECB and 18 from HPD. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 66 certifications filed against 4 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 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 111 Class C violations: 107 by the original certify-by date, 4 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 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on November 19, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.
Does 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 10 active DOB violations, most of them for facade reports not filed or filed late. The newest was issued February 22, 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.
Has DOB received complaints about 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 9 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed August 6, 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 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened June 6, 2024, awarded for $487. 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.
What did the latest facade report find at 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan?
Rated Unsafe in the latest facade report, filed November 10, 2025 (inspection cycle 10). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 16 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Sidewalk Shed work, was issued September 1, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
What is the ENERGY STAR score for 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan?
ENERGY STAR score 22 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.
Is 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted building (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.
When was 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan built?
The city's record gives 1966 as the year 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 21 floors.
How many apartments does 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 1,099 residential units at 71 Columbia Street, Manhattan. 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, 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.
