✓No open HPD violations — cleaner than 78% of buildings in this ZIP
✓Fewer HPD complaints than the neighborhood average (2 vs ~5)
ℹBuilt before 1939 (city records: 1930) — likely subject to NYC lead-paint rules
ℹRent-stabilized: 6 units registered
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 6 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.

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 1930. 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.
ⓘ Listed by New York State. This building appears in the state's 2024 list of buildings containing rent-stabilized units (2024 building registrations filed with NYS HCR, as of November 2025). The list does not publish how many units are stabilized, and buildings can leave it. To confirm your own apartment, request your rent history from DHCR.
