Top insights

About this building

The building’s floor space is 2.1 times the size of its lot: 4,310 sq ft of building on a 2,034 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.

55-02 98th Street sits in Queens, ZIP 11368. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.

Is 55-02 98th Street rent-stabilized?
Yes — 12 residential units at 55-02 98th Street are registered as rent-stabilized. Source: DHCR / Taxbills.nyc.

Status12 units registered rent-stabilized with DHCR
