About this building
The building’s floor space is 12.2 times the size of its lot: 490,652 sq ft of building on a 40,168 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.

- City records show 30 open HPD violations, 8 immediately hazardous (Class C) under 1261 2 Avenue — 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 2024 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 4 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: Properly repair with similar material the broken or defective wood floor in the entrance.
- 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.
265 East 66th Street sits in Manhattan, ZIP 10065. The closest subway is 68 St-Hunter College (6) (5-minute walk), served by the 6 line.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: December 2024 · 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.
