Top insights

About this building

The building’s floor space is 3.3 times the size of its lot: 42,435 sq ft of building on a 13,017 sq ft lot.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 21, 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.

1639 Fulton Avenue sits in Bronx, ZIP 10457. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.

Is 1639 Fulton Avenue subject to lead-paint regulations?
Yes — built in 1927, before NYC's 1960 lead-paint cutoff. Annual inspections are required for units with children under 6. Source: NYC Local Law 1.

Lead Paint Exposure

1 lead-paint hazard cited and later remediated (most recent 2016); no open hazards on record. Remediation addresses the cited conditions, not necessarily every painted surface.

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 (this building: built 1927). 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.
