100 worst landlords in NYC 2025

Sourced from the Office of the Public Advocate
Landlords are evaluated and ranked using clear and objective criteria to ensure transparency. The rankings are determined by analyzing the average number of open housing code violations reported for their properties by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). This method highlights patterns of property management and helps tenants make informed decisions about their housing options.
