- City records show 5 open HPD violations, 1 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2008 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Trace and repair the source and abate the nuisance consisting of mold ... all walls….
- 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.

Building Condition
Issued July 2008. 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 are on record for this building. That means no complaint or inspection was filed — not that the building is lead-free.
Built 1938. 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.
