Lead Paint Exposure

12 lead-paint hazards cited and later remediated (most recent 2021); 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 1925). 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: 3 procedural §27-2056 violations (failure to file required lead paperwork, most recent 2023) — a records failure, not evidence of a lead hazard.
