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 1896. 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.
BBL not found in the Who Owns What database — typically a small portfolio outside that dataset's coverage, or a recently created tax lot. Rent-stabilization status cannot be confirmed here without a DHCR records request. (As of June 16, 2026.)
