City records show no open HPD violations under 55 Hudson Street — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page — ask what was most recently repaired and how maintenance requests are handled, since a clean record isn’t a guarantee of upkeep.
We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.

ⓘ Counted under 55 Hudson Street, which the city lists as this same building. HPD files violations by street address, and this building is on file under that address rather than the one on this page — common for a corner building recorded on its cross street. The city’s address directory gives both the same building identification number (BIN 1001544), so these are this building’s records.

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 1891. 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.
