You should call Code Enforcement Central Complaint Bureau with your complaint via the City’s Citizen Service Center by dialing 311. If the Buildings Department needs to be notified the Complaint Bureau will advise you accordingly. If the building is structurally unsound, the City may place a vacate order resulting in a temporary or permanent relocation of the tenants. If your building is vacated, you should contact the NY State Division of Housing and Community Renewal at (718)739-6400 to ensure that you reserve your right to return once the building is repaired or to obtain a relocation stipend if one is available. This may involve payment of one dollar per month to preserve your tenancy.
