About this building
City records list 2023 as the year built — newer than 95% of the 100 buildings we cover in ZIP 11201. The building’s floor space is 4.7 times the size of its lot: 231,422 sq ft of building on a 49,537 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 6, 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.

Open in Google Street View ↗
- City records show 8 open HPD violations, 3 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2026 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 183 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.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Remove the illegal fastening consisting of an unacceptable electromagnetic locking device….
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.

Building Condition
Oldest open violation: March 2026 · Most recent: October 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
