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 1880. 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.

Source: HPD lead-paint violations (NYC Admin Code §27-2056).
