Building Condition

HPD Violations
All-time HPD violations
Total99
Open2
Closed97
ⓘ Counted under 934 De Kalb Avenue, which the city lists as this same building. HPD files violations by street address, and this building is on file under that address rather than the one on this page — common for a corner building recorded on its cross street. The city’s address directory gives both the same building identification number (BIN 3388847), so these are this building’s records.

Oldest open violation: December 2020 · Most recent: February 2022. 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.
