Subway stations re-matched by point-in-polygon on MTA Subway Stations (39hk-dx4f); LIRR stations checked against the LIRR GTFS stops file; park acreage and location re-checked in Parks Properties (enfh-gkve). Wikipedia facts re-read on the cited articles.

“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.
