Brooklyn · 11224 | BBL 3070590026 | BIN 3189556
Data as of August 29, 2026
Compliance grade not applicable

This building is public housing (NYCHA). NYCHA runs its own maintenance and work-order system, so a grade derived from HPD records would not describe how it is maintained, and we don’t assign one. Any HPD violations shown below are real records against the building — they are simply not the whole picture for NYCHA housing. The other public-records sections are unaffected.

Open Buildings Department records

City Buildings Department (DOB) records show 39 open DOB violations at this address, none in the immediately dangerous class. See the DOB Compliance section below.
