About this building
City records list 2015 as the year built — newer than 97% of the 245 buildings we cover in ZIP 10037, and the newest of the 7 buildings we cover on this block. The building’s floor space is 3.4 times the size of its lot: 55,517 sq ft of building on a 16,486 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 7, 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.

- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 106 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 in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
