EASTCHESTER GARDENS comprises 874 apartments across 10 buildings, operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). The development is part of NYCHA's portfolio of approximately 159,354 apartments across 305 publicly-tracked developments city-wide.
MetroDeeds tracks 7 HPD violations at EASTCHESTER GARDENS as of May 9, 2026: 4 Class C (immediately hazardous), 3 Class B (hazardous), and 0 Class A (non-hazardous). HPD violations are recorded by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development based on building inspections and complaint follow-ups.
EASTCHESTER GARDENS is owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) but has been transferred to private management under NYCHA's PACT (Permanent Affordability Commitment Together) program. Day-to-day property management — including maintenance and tenant services — is handled by a private company under the federal RAD program. NYCHA retains long-term ownership and rent regulation; tenants keep their public-housing tenancy rights.
EASTCHESTER GARDENS has approximately 0.008 HPD violations per apartment, versus the NYCHA-wide cohort average of approximately 0.05 violations per apartment (8,158 violations across 159,354 apartments). That is below the NYCHA-wide cohort average.
EASTCHESTER GARDENS residents can request maintenance work via the MyNYCHA app (see nyc.gov/site/nycha/residents/mynycha.page for app store links) or by calling NYCHA's Customer Contact Center at 718-707-7771, available 24 hours a day. For emergency conditions HPD also enforces — including heat or hot water failures during heat-season months, no water, or mold — residents can additionally file a complaint with HPD by calling 311 or visiting nyc.gov/311. Sustained non-response can be escalated through NYC Housing Court via an HP Action; see the methodology page for guidance.
