About this building
The building’s floor space is 2.8 times the size of its lot: 7,000 sq ft of building on a 2,500 sq ft lot.
Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 1, 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 4 open HPD violations, 4 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 2019 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
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.
§ 02 Verify in person
Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Provide hot water at all hot water fixtures in the entire apartment.
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.

Lead Paint Exposure
This building only
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 1931. 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.
