About this building
City records list 1884 as the year built — older than 94% of the 1,388 buildings we cover in ZIP 10027. Inside the Mount Morris Park Historic District. The building’s floor space is 2.5 times the size of its lot: 4,000 sq ft of building on a 1,600 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 7, 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 no rent-stabilized units in this building. If anyone tells you this unit is stabilized, ask to see the registration — and if it was deregulated, ask on what grounds and in what year.
City Buildings Department records show an open life-safety condition (e.g. unsafe building / hazardous facade) — what is it, and has it actually been resolved, not just re-filed?

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 1884. 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.
