Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 7 Class C violations, all 7 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.
Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 721 Faile Street, Bronx?
Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since June 18, 2026. Reason on the order: fire damage.

Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed January 31, 2026.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 721 Faile Street, Bronx?
ENERGY STAR score 65 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.

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.
