HPD data as of October 31, 2026
Compliance grade not applicable

This building is public housing (NYCHA). NYCHA runs its own maintenance and work-order system, so a grade derived from HPD records would not describe how it is maintained, and we don’t assign one. Any HPD violations shown below are real records against the building — they are simply not the whole picture for NYCHA housing. The other public-records sections are unaffected.

Open Buildings Department records

City Buildings Department (DOB) records show 11 open DOB violations at this address, none in the immediately dangerous class. See the DOB Compliance section below.

Lead Paint Exposure

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 1928. 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. 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.
