Pelham Bay Building Violations & Compliance

Every building in Pelham Bay (ZIP 10461, 10462) has a public NYC DOB Building Information System (BIS) record at a810-bisweb.nyc.gov and an HPD Online record at hpdonline.nyc.gov. Both are searchable by street address. Pijexa's free compliance check pulls DOB, HPD, ECB, FDNY, and OATH records for any Pelham Bay address into a single report in about 30 seconds.

Based on NYC enforcement data, the leading violation categories in Pelham Bay are: Unpermitted home additions and extensions, Illegal basement conversions, Zoning violations for accessory structures. These reflect the neighborhood's typical property stock — primarily 1-2 family homes and Small apartment buildings — and the aging systems in those buildings.

HPD does not enforce on 1-2 family homes in Pelham Bay — those are handled by DOB (structural, permits, zoning) and DSNY (sanitation). Multi-family buildings (3+ units) fall under HPD jurisdiction and are subject to lead paint (Local Law 1), heat requirements, and pest control mandates.

Five agencies actively cite Pelham Bay properties: DOB (construction, permits, elevators, facades), HPD (habitability, heat, lead paint), FDNY (fire safety, sprinklers, exits), ECB/OATH (all citywide summonses adjudicated at OATH hearings), and DSNY (sanitation, receptacle rules). Pijexa monitors all five sources daily and alerts owners to new violations before fines escalate.

Fines depend on the issuing agency and violation class. DOB Class 1 (immediately hazardous) violations start at $2,500 and can reach $25,000+. DOB Class 2 (major) violations are $250-$5,000. HPD violations by class: Class A (non-hazardous) $10-$50/day, Class B (hazardous) $25-$100/day, Class C (immediately hazardous) $50-$500/day. ECB summonses in Pelham Bay typically range from $50 to $2,000 per citation depending on category. Ongoing accrual on illegal basement conversions makes early cure critical.
