About this building

City records list 1894 as the year built — older than 83% of the 1,017 buildings we cover in ZIP 11216. Inside the Crown Heights North II Historic District.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 28, 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.

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 1894. 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.
