MetroDeeds tracks 10 HPD housing-maintenance code violations across the development's tracked BBLs, including 2 Class C (immediately hazardous, the most serious classification), 5 Class B (hazardous), and 3 Class A (non-hazardous) — below the city-wide NYCHA average violation density.

The agency's portfolio aggregates 8,273 HPD housing-maintenance violations city-wide as of May 29, 2026, equivalent to a portfolio-wide density of approximately 0.05 violations per apartment. All data sourced from NYC HPD violation feeds and NYCHA's published development roster. See the methodology page for HPD classification details and data freshness.
