DHCR-listed buildings with tracked listings
1 indexable building pages have a listing address matched to the DHCR building registry. A building match does not confirm the status of any apartment in it.
Based on Leaseswap listings tracked during the last 6 months. Feature shares count explicit affirmative reports over all tracked listings; a missing detail is unknown, not a negative. Apartment size is based on listings that report square footage. Updated October 1, 2026.
East New York has both established low-rise residential blocks and major corridors where the city planned for mixed-use growth. The 2017 East New York Neighborhood Plan map distinguishes residential areas, where it describes preserving low-rise homes and rowhouses, from growth and mixed-use corridors intended to accommodate housing alongside retail and community uses. HPD’s plan covers East New York together with Cypress Hills and Ocean Hill, so its boundaries are broader than any one listing label. The documents describe planning goals and mapped areas; they are not a current inventory of every building.
The city has completed projects at specific sites. HPD and partner agencies reported the opening of Chestnut Commons, a mixed-use development with apartments, retail, and a community center. That example does not mean an advertised home nearby is part of the project or has the same facilities. For any address, confirm the building name, entrance, floor, elevator access, laundry and package arrangements, and how maintenance requests are handled. In a house or rowhouse, ask whether the listed space is a whole home or one unit within a multi-home building and whether a yard or basement is shared.
When comparing a home on a commercial corridor with one on an interior block, visit the exact block at the times you expect to use it. Ask the owner or manager how deliveries, trash, and any ground-floor businesses affect building access. Check windows, fixtures, water pressure, and visible moisture during a viewing. Confirm which appliances and utilities are included in writing.
The city’s framework map is especially useful for understanding why building forms can change from a side street to a planned growth corridor. Treat each map as area context, then verify the specific property through its documents, viewing, and lease. Do not assume that all addresses under the East New York label share one building type or set of services.
