Building Condition
- 2023-06-30 "VIOLATION ISSUED-FAILURE TO FILE 2020 EXTERNAL HGH PRESSURE INSPECTION"
- 2023-06-30 "VIOLATION ISSUED-FAILURE TO FILE 2021 INTERNAL HGH PRESSURE INSPECTION"

20 lead-paint hazards 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 1931). 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.
