New Yorkers often complain about their landlords and the buildings they live in — and now, a listings portal has rounded up city records to identify the ones that currently, and allegedly, rank among the worst for their sum of open violations.
, a website dedicated to connecting renters with no-fee apartments, analyzed city Housing Preservation & Development records in its first-quarter “Top Worst Buildings & Landlords in NYC” report, which The Post received exclusively.
The study identified the most allegedly in-violation 🎐landlord in the whole Big Apple as Hall Property Managem▨ent, which is listed as the owner of Brooklyn’s 1055 Bergen St in Crown Heights.
For its methodology, RENTBETTA looked at the number of open HPD violations per apartment for every residential NYC building with 10 or more units in the first quarter of 2023 — and ranked them by their sum relative to the building’s size. The more open violations a building has in relation to its size, the higher it ranks on the list, notes the report.
Hall Property Management currently has 753 open violations on the 16-unit building, according to HPD — or, roughly 47 open violations per dwelling.
Although violations can be for issues such as peeling paint, such a quantity may suggest tenants are not experiencing a high quality of life in the p🌄rewar structure.
( from tenant complaints, such as calls to the city’s 311 hotline, and are issued either through an inspector or administratively when building codes are not complied with. The HPD fines landlords who do not address them, the report notes.)
At 1055 Bergen, a few of the unresolved violations include allegations by the city of defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors; cockroach, rat and mice infestations; various leaks and general filth. Hallways are also allegedly obstructed by tenants’ personal items being kept outside of their homes.
For its part, the city Department of Buildings also currently on this same property, with records showing it’s due to construction work being done inside without permits — specifically, plumbing and structural work being done in a bathroom.
Up next, according to the report, is 533 W. 145th St.🌳 in Hamilton Heights.&nb🎉sp;
That Upper Manhattan property — and its landlord, Infinite Horizon Management — has 667 open HPD violations for its 15 apartments, making about 44 open violations per unit. Among them, according to the HPD’s website, are recent violations that include a barbeque grill and baby strollers allegedly blocking a first-floor hallway and a ceiling leak inside a second-floor unit.
Back in Crown Heights, Nasir Holding Group’s 101 Rogers Ave., which has 12 units and 432 open violations — making some 36 per unit when broken down — is the third on the list. Among those open violations, as recorded on the HPD website, are an infestation of mice in a first-floor apartment — and, in that same unit, a water leak through the kitchen’s ceiling, another in its bathroom, as well as a cockroach infestation.
Neither the three management companies, nor parties affiliated with them, responded to The Post’s requests for comment by press time.
