About this building

City records list 1989 as the year built — newer than 86% of the 374 buildings we cover in ZIP 11373.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 18, 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.
