The building’s floor space is 6 times the size of its lot: 139,346 sq ft of building on a 23,218 sq ft lot. 96 apartments — more than 92% of the 269 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 11249 have.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 4, 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.
City records show no open HPD violations here — ask what was most recently repaired and how maintenance requests are handled, since a clean record isn’t a guarantee of upkeep.
DHCR’s most recent registration lists 29 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
