2025 worst landlords in NYC by borough

Ranked by 2025 HPD violation totals from a saved list we update on purpose—so it doesn't reshuffle every time you refresh.

We group buildings by registered head officer and include only portfolios with at least three buildings in each borough. Order is by the total count of HPD violation records dated in calendar year 2025 (NYC-local dates). The list is stored in our database so it stays stable until we deliberately republish it.

How we rank this

We include only landlords registered as head officer with at least three buildings in the borough. Within each borough we rank by the total number of HPD violation rows dated in calendar year 2025. Flag Check tier and complaint context come from the same saved list. We only refresh that list when we deliberately republish it, so rankings don't jump day to day as new city data arrives.
