- City records show no open HPD violations under 720 St Nicholas Avenue — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page — ask what was most recently repaired and how maintenance requests are handled, since a clean record isn’t a guarantee of upkeep.
- We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.
720 Saint Nicholas Avenue sits in Manhattan, ZIP 10031. The closest subway is 145 St (A,C,B,D) (1-minute walk), served by the A, B, C, and D lines.

No HPD lead-paint violations are on record for this building. That means no complaint or inspection was filed — not that the building is lead-free.
Built 1890. 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. 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.
