Top insights

About this building

The building’s floor space is 2.1 times the size of its lot: 11,340 sq ft of building on a 5,350 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.

149-07 Sanford Avenue sits in Queens, ZIP 11355. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.

Partially — 1 of 8 units at 149-07 Sanford Avenue is rent-stabilized. Source: DHCR / Taxbills.nyc.

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 1950. 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.
