Is 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 3 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.

Does 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 13 active DOB violations. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 4 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 11, 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 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened September 16, 2025, awarded for $1,100. 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.

When was 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1930 as the year 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a residence with stores or offices with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 966 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 966 Manhattan Avenue, 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, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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.
