About this building
City records list 1964 as the year built — newer than 93% of the 276 buildings we cover in ZIP 10472. The building’s floor space is 2.5 times the size of its lot: 198,104 sq ft of building on an 80,600 sq ft lot. 159 apartments — more than 98% of the 275 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 10472 have.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 20, 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.

- City records show 146 open HPD violations, 46 immediately hazardous (Class C) under 1200 Croes Avenue — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2003 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 45 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
- City Buildings Department records show an open life-safety condition (e.g. unsafe building / hazardous facade) — what is it, and has it actually been resolved, not just re-filed?
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Properly repair with similar material the broken or defective concrete floor in the terrace.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
1220 Westchester Avenue sits in Bronx, ZIP 10472. The closest subway is St Lawrence Av (6) (4-minute walk), served by the 6 line.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: June 2003 · Most recent: October 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.

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1964. For buildings built between 1960 and 1978, Local Law 1 applies where the owner knows lead-based paint is present — there is no automatic pre-1960 presumption. Lead paint in residential use was federally banned in 1978.
