About this building
City records list 1983 as the year built — newer than 94% of the 708 buildings we cover in ZIP 10030. 76 apartments — the most of any of the 23 buildings we cover on this block, and more than 97% of the 709 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 10030 have fewer. The building’s floor space is 3.7 times the size of its lot: 74,304 sq ft of building on a 19,994 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 3, 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 35 open HPD violations, 12 immediately hazardous (Class C) under 2640 Frederick Douglass Boulevard — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2018 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 130 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.
- 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?
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Abate the infestation consisting of roaches in the entire apartment.
- 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.
2640 8th Avenue sits in Manhattan, ZIP 10030. The closest subway is 135 St (C,B) (5-minute walk), served by the B and C lines.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: August 2018 · Most recent: August 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.
