About this building
10 floors — one of 1 building over 10 floors among the 7 we cover on this block. The building’s floor space is 6.4 times the size of its lot: 67,447 sq ft of building on a 10,492 sq ft lot. 51 apartments — more than 93% of the 1,067 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 10031 have.
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.

- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 18 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: Abate the nuisance consisting of evidence of rats and all underlying causes creating….
- 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.

Building Condition
Oldest open violation: March 2016 · Most recent: 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.

38 lead-paint hazards cited and later remediated (most recent 2018); no open hazards on record. Remediation addresses the cited conditions, not necessarily every painted surface.
Under NYC Local Law 1 (Admin Code §27-2056.5), lead paint is presumed present in common areas and in apartments where a child under 6 resides, in multiple dwellings built before 1960 (this building: built 1913). The presumption stands unless the owner obtained a lead-free or lead-safe exemption from HPD. Those exemption records aren’t published as open data, so we can’t confirm one either way.
