Top insights

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.

1523 Undercliff Avenue sits in Bronx, ZIP 10453. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.
