About this building
City records list 2023 as the year built — newer than 98% of the 1,149 buildings we cover in ZIP 11222, and the newest of the 9 buildings we cover on this block. 25 apartments — the most of any building we cover on this block, and more than 95% of the 1,145 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 11222 have fewer. The building’s floor space is 5 times the size of its lot: 23,909 sq ft of building on a 4,784 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 2, 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.

Open in Google Street View ↗
- City records show 2 open HPD violations at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2026 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 8 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.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Properly repair the source and abate the evidence of a water leak at east wall.

Building Condition
Issued July 2026. 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.
