Several properties on the Upper West Side made it onto a “landlord watchlist” compiled by Public Advocate Tish James from violation reports.
The list, released on Wednesday, is based on Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) violations, as well as info from constituents and other sources, according to James’ office.
“For a landlord to be added to the Watch List, they must own a building with fewer than 35 units with an average of at least three open, serious violations (B and C violations) per unit. Larger buildings must have an average of at least two open, serious violations (B and C violations) per unit.”

does the photo represent dark clouds metaphorically looming over the UWS?
Sure seems that way, what with the rise in crime, and housing project gang wars and such.
930 Columbus should be on that list. Celling falling in, mice, no heat for days, rotten smells, cats, BUGS… Roaches the size of close pins in the hall.
I’d recommend moving….
An audit needs to be done by HPD. Especially the corruption by L&M Development, BFC Development and Donald Capoccia…all these ppl sit on the REBNY board, get subsidies and build crap buildings. There is no oversight by HPD and the buildings dept.
