About this building

City records list 1915 as the year built — older than 87% of the 590 buildings we cover in ZIP 10453, and the oldest of the 29 buildings we cover on this block. The building’s floor space is 4.4 times the size of its lot: 21,834 sq ft of building on a 5,000 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.

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 1915. 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.

Also on record: 1 procedural §27-2056 violation (failure to file required lead paperwork, most recent 2020) — a records failure, not evidence of a lead hazard.
