Questions about this building

Does 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn had 19 open violations on October 10, 2026: 17 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 5 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 42 years, since November 2, 1983.

Is 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 5 open Class C, with 4 certifications filed and 4 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations, all 5 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, 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.

Has 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 3 housing court cases here since 2007. 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed December 31, 2025. 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened March 19, 2026, awarded for $1,175. 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn?

Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed February 17, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). Reports in earlier inspection cycles rated it Safe in 2007, SWARMP in 2012, and Safe in 2019. SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn?

Yes. 2 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for General Construction work, was issued September 21, 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn?

ENERGY STAR score 83 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.

When was the boiler at 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn last inspected?

On April 30, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 2, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2026 as a rent-regulated 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.

Is 735 Avenue W, 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. 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 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1962 as the year 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 100 residential units at 735 Avenue W, Brooklyn. 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/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
