About this building

City records list 2017 as the year built — newer than 91% of the 1,204 buildings we cover in ZIP 11221, and the newest of the 6 buildings we cover on this block. At 5 floors, the tallest on this block. 17 apartments — the most of any building we cover on this block. The building’s floor space is 2.8 times the size of its lot: 14,955 sq ft of building on a 5,400 sq ft lot.

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.

Building Condition

HPD Violations
All-time HPD violations
Total28
Open6
Closed22
ⓘ Counted under 435 Central Avenue, 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.

Issued 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.
