Allerton

Allerton is in the north-central Bronx, between the Bronx River Parkway on the west and the 5 train's Dyre Avenue Line on the east, with White Plains Road and Boston Road as its main streets. It mixes large apartment complexes with blocks of small houses: in the city's PLUTO tax-lot data, about 890 of its roughly 1,640 tax lots hold one- or two-family homes. NYCHA developments here include Parkside Houses, the six-story Pelham Parkway Houses (1,266 apartments) and the 20-story Boston Road Plaza. The 2 and 5 trains run on the elevated White Plains Road line, stopping at Allerton Avenue, with Pelham Parkway and Burke Avenue stations just past the edges.

Allerton has 17,429 open HPD housing violations, 4,288 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 9,280 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 20th most open violations of 39 neighborhoods in Bronx.

Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Neighborhood boundaries and NYCHA development names from Wikipedia; Wikipedia's neighborhood lines differ slightly from the NTA. Housing figures computed from PLUTO 26v2 residential units, with lots assigned to this NTA through 2020 census tracts (NYC Planning tract-to-NTA codes); building type uses PLUTO building class (C = walk-up, D = elevator, A/B = one- and two-family). Subway stations placed by point-in-polygon test of MTA station coordinates against the 2020 NTA boundary (data.cityofnewyork.us 9nt8-h7nd); 'just outside' means within about 150 m of the edge. Re-verified 2026-10-12: recomputed every PLUTO 26v2 share from the raw lots (2020 tract-to-NTA codes from data.cityofnewyork.us 63ge-mke6) and re-ran the station point-in-polygon test against the 2020 NTA file. Removed the unit totals and percentages: PLUTO records 9,669 units on one NYCHA lot (2945 White Plains Road, Parkside Houses, which NYCHA lists at 879 apartments), which distorted every unit share; replaced with lot counts. Removed Eastchester Gardens (its lot, 1130 Burke Ave, falls in Pelham Gardens). NYCHA apartment counts, stories and completion dates from the NYCHA Development Data Book.

“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.
