Questions about this building
Does 989 East 179 Street, Bronx have open violations?
Yes. 989 East 179 Street, Bronx had 18 open violations on September 26, 2026: 2 from OATH/ECB and 16 from HPD. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 989 East 179 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with nothing filed or new 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 989 East 179 Street, Bronx?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 2 of them Invalid 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 989 East 179 Street, Bronx have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 30, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.
Does 989 East 179 Street, Bronx have active DOB violations?
Yes. 4 active DOB violations, most of them for boiler filings under Local Law 62/91. The newest was issued December 20, 2017. 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 989 East 179 Street, Bronx?
Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed August 20, 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 989 East 179 Street, Bronx marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened October 25, 2023, awarded for $810. 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.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 989 East 179 Street, Bronx?
Yes. 6 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Full Demolition work, was issued September 18, 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.
Does 989 East 179 Street, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, issued June 3, 2020. 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 989 East 179 Street, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted 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.
When was 989 East 179 Street, Bronx built?
The city's record gives 1974 as the year 989 East 179 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.
How many apartments does 989 East 179 Street, Bronx have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 297 residential units at 989 East 179 Street, 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB NOW work permits, 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.
