- Rent-stabilized: 174 of 2121 units
About this building
The building’s floor space is 2 times the size of its lot: 1,842,649 sq ft of building on a 914,087 sq ft lot. 2,121 apartments — more than 99% of the 281 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 10462 have.
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.

- City records show 29 open HPD violations, 7 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2018 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 174 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: Correct failure to notify occupants and/or to investigate lead-based paint hazards.
- 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.
81 Metropolitan Oval sits in Bronx, ZIP 10462. The closest subway is Parkchester (6) (6-minute walk), served by the 6 line.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: September 2018 · Most recent: October 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.
