Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Re-verified 2026-10-12 by roofy-research: neighborhood list matches the 'Neighborhoods' line on council.nyc.gov/district-16. Housing shares recomputed from PLUTO 26v2 (sum of unitsres grouped by council and bldgclass; A/B = one- and two-family, C = walk-up, D = elevator, R = condominium; NYCHA share = units on lots with owner name containing 'HOUSING AUTH'). Subway and rail stations re-placed by point-in-polygon test of MTA station coordinates (data.ny.gov 39hk-dx4f, wxmd-5cpm) against the City Council Districts boundary file (872g-cjhh); every station named matches. Park names, acreage and Flagship/Nature Area type checked in NYC Parks Properties (enfh-gkve, councildistrict field), including shared parks. Corrected: NYCHA examples now name the largest developments in the district per the NYCHA Development Data Book (Butler 1,492, Morris I 1,085, Morrisania Air Rights 843). Yankee Stadium location confirmed inside the boundary.

“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.
