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.
