No HPD lead-paint violations are on record for this building. That means no complaint or inspection was filed — not that the building is lead-free.
Built 1902. City property records (PLUTO) list no residential units at this address. NYC Local Law 1 addresses lead paint in multiple dwellings, so its presumption does not apply here. Any violations below are records against the property, not findings about an apartment.
