About this building

At 6 floors, the tallest of the 5 buildings we cover on this block. 24 apartments — the most of any building we cover on this block. The building’s floor space is 4.1 times the size of its lot: 15,200 sq ft of building on a 3,750 sq ft lot.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 31, 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.

Oldest open violation: September 2007 · Most recent: September 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.

Lead Paint Exposure

2 open lead-paint hazard violations on record (most recent 2023). These are HPD violations recorded against the building — not a test of any specific apartment.

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 1931). 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.

Also on record: 1 procedural §27-2056 violation (failure to file required lead paperwork, most recent 2023) — a records failure, not evidence of a lead hazard.

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