235 Cypress Avenue
This building has a substantial enforcement record over the last seven years, and our model predicts continuing maintenance failures over the next 12 months. Read the records below before you sign. Ask which issues were resolved, get repair commitments in writing, and inspect the unit yourself.
This building has 52 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Mott Haven average of 56.3.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.
The 6-story, 40-unit building at 235 Cypress Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Quadrant Properties Housing Development Fund Company, has a lengthy history of maintenance and safety concerns since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in July 2026, there have been multiple unsanitary conditions reported, particularly involving pests, with several complaints still open as of late July 2026. Two hazardous violations were recorded in July 2026 regarding safety concerns: one for defective carbon monoxide detecting devices in apartment 4A, and another for required re-entry latches at roof bulkhead doors. The building experienced significant electrical safety issues in 2019, with multiple complaints about defective/exposed wiring between August and December, leading to Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations and penalties totaling $2,685 for various infractions, including unauthorized electrical work and non-compliance with Commissioner's orders.

What's in the 235 Cypress Avenue report
Is 235 Cypress Avenue rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 235 Cypress Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
How 235 Cypress Avenue's risk score is calculated
We trained a model on 7 years of city inspection data — HPD violation filings, tenant complaints, and owner track records across their entire portfolio. It estimates the probability that HPD inspectors will find serious or dangerous violations at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.
