Questions about this building
Does 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx had 18 open violations on September 26, 2026: 18 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 27 Class C violations, all 27 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 4 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 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued December 13, 2011. 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $772 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened June 4, 2025. 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.
Is 976 Prospect 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.

The city's record gives 1905 as the year 976 Prospect Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 5 floors.

It also draws on DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders 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.
