    Issued Feb 22, 2024 — FAILED TO FILE FISP CYCLE 9C TECHNICAL REPORT BY 2/21/2024

A violation is a notice the Department of Buildings recorded against the building. It is not a judgment, and many concern paperwork rather than safety. Open means the agency has not recorded a resolution, which is not the same as the problem still existing. From NYC Department of Buildings, DOB Violations (3h2n-5cm9), accessed Sep 14, 2026.
