Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Station locations checked by placing MTA Subway Stations coordinates inside the 2020 NTA boundary; housing-stock shares computed from PLUTO residential units by building class and year built for lots inside the NTA (rounded). Wikipedia redirects Mount Hope to its Tremont article, which supplies the Morris Avenue Historic District and Concourse/Jerome subway lines. NTA neighbors from the 2020 NTA dataset; historic district confirmed in PLUTO. Fact-check 2026-10-12: All 35 Morris Avenue Historic District lots in PLUTO fall inside this NTA, so "part of" was changed to the whole district. Neighbors (Tremont, Fordham Heights, University Heights South-Morris Heights) re-checked against 2020 NTA polygons; stations and housing shares re-computed.

“Open” counts every HPD violation not yet recorded as corrected, including old ones owners never certified, so totals can exceed the number of apartments.
