About this building
City records list 1890 as the year built — older than 95% of the 1,066 buildings we cover in ZIP 10031. Inside the Hamilton Heights / Sugar Hill Historic District. The building’s floor space is 2.8 times the size of its lot: 5,225 sq ft of building on a 1,875 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 10, 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 under 749 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.
DHCR’s most recent registration lists 1 rent-stabilized unit here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.

ⓘ Counted under 749 St Nicholas Avenue, which the city lists as this same building. HPD files violations by street address, and this building is on file under that address rather than the one on this page — common for a corner building recorded on its cross street. The city’s address directory gives both the same building identification number (BIN 1061452), so these are this building’s records.

Lead Paint Exposure
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.
