Summary · as of November 10, 2026
573 Johnson Avenue (Brooklyn, NY 11237; tax lot BBL 3029880037) is a factory or industrial building (building class F4: factory / industrial building (subtype F4)), built around 1931, on a 16,400 sq ft lot zoned M3-1. City tax records list the owner as RCGT 2988-37, LLC. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $2,801,000. As of November 10, 2026 (limited by HPD Housing Maintenance Code Violations; other open-item sources were confirmed later), NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show two OATH tickets with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items. There were seven 311 requests in the past 12 months and no HPD complaints since 2019. (Source: NYC Open Data — DOB, HPD, OATH, DOF, DCP and ACRIS datasets — compiled by NYC Property Facts.)
