44 landlords on today's watchlist carry more in fines on open violations than they did in April 2026.
10 of them weren't in the top 50 then.
Sorted by how much each landlord's fines on open violations grew. That reflects new citations at their own properties, not just where they sit on the list, since rank also changes when other landlords' violations are closed by DOB.

Compares the watchlist in April 2026 with DOB data from October 2026.
Fines are amounts assessed on violations still open on each date. Both dates use today's links between companies and owners. A landlord with nothing open in April 2026 may have bought the property since then.
DC Housing Authority is excluded, as on the watchlist.
