Building Condition

HPD Violations
HPD has no registration record for this address, so no violation history is linked to this building. Registration requirements depend on how a building is owned and occupied. This is not a data outage.
HPD Complaints
No HPD complaints filed in the past 12 months. No tenant has formally escalated a condition to HPD; could indicate clean upkeep, or that issues are being handled before reaching HPD.
DOB Compliance
No DOB activity in the public records — no recent permits, work orders, or open violations on file. Stable maintenance state, or work happens off the public permit system (uncommon for buildings of any size).
Bedbug History
HPD annual bedbug report (building-aggregate, no apt-level data)

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.
