About this building
City records list 2018 as the year built — newer than 95% of the 345 buildings we cover in ZIP 10454. The building’s floor space is 2.2 times the size of its lot: 5,496 sq ft of building on a 2,500 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 20, 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.
City records show no open HPD violations here — ask what was most recently repaired and how maintenance requests are handled, since a clean record isn’t a guarantee of upkeep.
DHCR’s most recent registration lists 3 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
