Questions about this building

Does 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Is 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 12 certifications filed against 4 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 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 7 Class C violations: 3 by the original certify-by date, 4 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 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened March 4, 2026, awarded for $345. 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 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn 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 2 floors.

How many apartments does 979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 4 residential units at 979 New York 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 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD emergency repair orders 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.
