About this building
The building’s floor space is 21.4 times the size of its lot: 215,500 sq ft of building on a 10,050 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 19, 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 no open HPD violations under HPD building ID 1016976 — ask what was most recently repaired and how maintenance requests are handled, since a clean record isn’t a guarantee of upkeep.
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists no rent-stabilized units in this building. If anyone tells you this unit is stabilized, ask to see the registration — and if it was deregulated, ask on what grounds and in what year.
1487 First Avenue sits in Manhattan, ZIP 10075. The closest subway is 72 St (Q) (6-minute walk), served by the 6 and Q lines.
