About this building

City records list 1941 as the year built — newer than 81% of the 600 buildings we cover in ZIP 10468. The building’s floor space is 5.8 times the size of its lot: 70,800 sq ft of building on a 12,150 sq ft lot.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 31, 2026.

A difference between the DHCR rent-stabilized count and the PLUTO total is common and does not, on its own, indicate a violation: units can leave rent stabilization legally, the two datasets count units differently, some units may be non-residential, and a registration can be filed incompletely. To check your own apartment, see how to request your rent history from DHCR.

Lead Paint Exposure

9 open lead-paint hazard violations on record (most recent 2020). These are HPD violations recorded against the building — not a test of any specific apartment.

21 earlier hazards cited and remediated.

Under NYC Local Law 1 (Admin Code §27-2056.5), lead paint is presumed present in common areas and in apartments where a child under 6 resides, in multiple dwellings built before 1960 (this building: built 1941). The presumption stands unless the owner obtained a lead-free or lead-safe exemption from HPD. Those exemption records aren’t published as open data, so we can’t confirm one either way.
