ⓘ Counted under 491 East 94 Street, 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.

Oldest open violation: February 2019 · Most recent: November 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.

Lead Paint Exposure

73 lead-paint hazards cited and later remediated (most recent 2024); no open hazards on record. Remediation addresses the cited conditions, not necessarily every painted surface.

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 (this building: built 1930). 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.

Also on record: 9 procedural §27-2056 violations (failure to file required lead paperwork, most recent 2025) — a records failure, not evidence of a lead hazard.
