This development was selected for PACT conversion — a public-private partnership typically targeting developments with significant capital needs and deferred maintenance. Conditions may reflect years of deferred repairs prior to conversion.
HOPE GARDENS is a public housing development operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) in Brooklyn, comprising 324 apartments across 4 buildings completed in 1981. MetroDeeds tracks 162 HPD housing-maintenance code violations across the development's tracked BBLs, including 75 Class C (immediately hazardous, the most serious classification), 37 Class B (hazardous), and 50 Class A (non-hazardous) — placing the development above the city-wide NYCHA average violation density. NYCHA, the public agency that owns and operates NYC's federal public housing portfolio, collectively manages approximately 159,354 apartments across 305 publicly tracked developments and has been consistently ranked among NYC's most distressed landlords by tenant advocates. 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.

HOPE GARDENS comprises 324 apartments across 4 buildings, operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). The development is part of NYCHA's portfolio of approximately 159,354 apartments across 305 publicly-tracked developments city-wide.
MetroDeeds tracks 162 HPD violations at HOPE GARDENS as of May 29, 2026: 75 Class C (immediately hazardous), 37 Class B (hazardous), and 50 Class A (non-hazardous). HPD violations are recorded by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development based on building inspections and complaint follow-ups.
HOPE GARDENS is owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) but has been transferred to private management under NYCHA's PACT (Permanent Affordability Commitment Together) program. Day-to-day property management — including maintenance and tenant services — is handled by a private company under the federal RAD program. NYCHA retains long-term ownership and rent regulation; tenants keep their public-housing tenancy rights.
HOPE GARDENS has approximately 0.50 HPD violations per apartment, versus the NYCHA-wide cohort average of approximately 0.05 violations per apartment (8,273 violations across 159,354 apartments). That is approximately 9.6× the NYCHA-wide cohort average — a high-density outlier.
HOPE GARDENS residents can request maintenance work via the MyNYCHA app (see nyc.gov/site/nycha/residents/mynycha.page for app store links) or by calling NYCHA's Customer Contact Center at 718-707-7771, available 24 hours a day. For emergency conditions HPD also enforces — including heat or hot water failures during heat-season months, no water, or mold — residents can additionally file a complaint with HPD by calling 311 or visiting nyc.gov/311. Sustained non-response can be escalated through NYC Housing Court via an HP Action; see the methodology page for guidance.
