HPD data as of November 3, 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.

Building identification — this building is not confirmed against the city’s address directory. The records below are the ones filed under this building’s ID.
Open Buildings Department condition

City Buildings Department (DOB) records show 31 open DOB violations at this address, including a hazardous facade condition (Local Law 11 / FISP), filed within the last 6 years. An open life-safety condition on record limits the compliance grade to B+ — see the DOB Compliance section below.

Building Condition

HPD Violations
All-time HPD violations
Total14
Open14
Closed0
ⓘ Counted under 159-04 Harlem River Drive, not the address on this page. HPD files violations by street address, not by building. A corner building is often recorded on its cross street, so this can be the same building under another address — or a neighbouring one. HPD’s data alone does not settle which.

On record since October 2026. 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.

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.
