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 50 open HPD violations, 6 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 1997 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- Public records list 1 rent-stabilized unit in this building — is this specific unit stabilized, and can the landlord show 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 the broken or defective lock at entrance door to building at vestibule….
- 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.

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1961. For buildings built between 1960 and 1978, Local Law 1 applies where the owner knows lead-based paint is present — there is no automatic pre-1960 presumption. Lead paint in residential use was federally banned in 1978.
