ⓘ Counted under 2920 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, not the address on this page. HPD files violations by street address, not by building. A corner building is often recorded on its cross street, so this can be the same building under another address — or a neighbouring one. HPD’s data alone does not settle which.

Oldest open violation: September 2022 · Most recent: September 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.

Lead Paint Exposure

No HPD lead-paint violations are on record for this building. That means no complaint or inspection was filed — not that the building is lead-free.

Built 1920. Under NYC Local Law 1 (Admin Code §27-2056.5), lead paint is presumed present in common areas and in apartments where a child under 6 resides, in multiple dwellings built before 1960. The presumption stands unless the owner obtained a lead-free or lead-safe exemption from HPD. Those exemption records aren’t published as open data, so we can’t confirm one either way.
