- This is NYCHA public housing, so HPD’s violation database isn’t the maintenance record — ask the management office for this unit’s open work-order history and average repair time.
55 Ross Street sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11249. The closest subway is Marcy Av (M,J,Z) (10-minute walk), served by the J, M, and Z lines.
Building Condition
Issued March 2016. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
