About this building
City records list 1965 as the year built — newer than 83% of the 474 buildings we cover in ZIP 11212.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 28, 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 19 open HPD violations, 3 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2010 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 16 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.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Replace or repair the self-closing doors that is missing or defective door at vestibule.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
421 Remsen Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11212. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: July 2010 · Most recent: December 2025. 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.
