Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Re-verified 2026-10-12. Neighborhood list matches the NYC Planning Community Profiles data for district 206. Housing shares re-run against PLUTO 26v2 (sum of unitsres for cd=206: class A/B = one- and two-family, C = walk-up, D = elevator, R = condominium; pre-1940 = yearbuilt 1-1939; tall = numfloors 20+; NYCHA = owner of record NYC Housing Authority, which excludes PACT conversions); all quoted shares match to the rounded percent. Subway stops re-checked by point-in-polygon of MTA Subway Stations coordinates against the DCP community district boundary (5crt-au7u); stations within about 100 m of the line are described as on the edge. Boundary streets checked by measuring how much of each named street's centerline (CSCL) runs along the official district boundary; Wikipedia boundary text was not relied on. Park names, acreage and community boards from NYC Parks Properties (enfh-gkve). Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden location in Bronx Park confirmed on the NYC Parks Bronx Park history page.

“Open” counts every HPD violation not yet recorded as corrected, including old ones owners never certified, so totals can exceed the number of apartments. Statistics: NYC Open Data (HPD violations, 311 service requests, DCP PLUTO) and rent-stabilized counts from DOF tax bills (via JustFix), updated Oct 15, 2026. Heat season runs October 1 to May 31; season-to-date counts compare the same dates.
