About this building
City records list 1997 as the year built — newer than 91% of the 150 buildings we cover in ZIP 10009.

The building’s floor space is 6.1 times the size of its lot: 80,500 sq ft of building on a 13,245 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.
