About this building
City records list 2020 as the year built — newer than 96% of the 1,033 buildings we cover in ZIP 11211. The building’s floor space is 3.6 times the size of its lot: 9,000 sq ft of building on a 2,500 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 31, 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 4 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.
