About this building

City records list 1910 as the year built — tied with 6 others as the oldest of the 342 buildings we cover in ZIP 10034. The building’s floor space is 3.3 times the size of its lot: 12,240 sq ft of building on a 3,750 sq ft lot.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 10, 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.

Oldest open violation: November 1986 · Most recent: March 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.

Lead Paint Exposure

20 lead-paint hazards cited and later remediated (most recent 2014); no open hazards on record. Remediation addresses the cited conditions, not necessarily every painted surface.

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 1910). 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.
