MIDDLETOWN PLAZA comprises 159 apartments across 1 building, 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 20 HPD violations at MIDDLETOWN PLAZA as of May 29, 2026: 5 Class C (immediately hazardous), 10 Class B (hazardous), and 5 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.
MIDDLETOWN PLAZA 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.
MIDDLETOWN PLAZA has approximately 0.13 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 2.4× the NYCHA-wide cohort average — above-average density.
MIDDLETOWN PLAZA 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.
