Questions about this building
Does 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx had 20 open violations on September 26, 2026: 19 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 12 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 16 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 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 8 Class C violations: 5 by the original certify-by date, 3 after it. 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $3,000 in total. The most recent of the 2, an electrical order, was opened November 8, 2024. 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 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx?
Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed December 28, 2021 (inspection cycle 9). 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.
Does 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued July 17, 2023. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.
Is 871 Westchester Avenue, 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 871 Westchester Avenue, 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 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx built?
The city's record gives 2005 as the year 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 7 floors.
How many apartments does 871 Westchester Avenue, Bronx have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 70 residential units at 871 Westchester Avenue, 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 the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, 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.
