ⓘ Counted under 2850 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, which the city lists as this same building. HPD files violations by street address, and this building is on file under that address rather than the one on this page — common for a corner building recorded on its cross street. The city’s address directory gives both the same building identification number (BIN 1060604), so these are this building’s records.

Lead Paint Exposure

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1968. 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.
