Top insights

About this building

The building’s floor space is 29.4 times the size of its lot: 445,590 sq ft of building on a 15,140 sq ft lot.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 19, 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.
