About this building

The building’s floor space is 6.5 times the size of its lot: 65,800 sq ft of building on a 10,092 sq ft lot. 48 apartments — more than 91% of the 1,384 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 10027 have.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of November 3, 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

14 lead-paint hazards cited and later remediated (most recent 2017); no open hazards on record. Remediation addresses the cited conditions, not necessarily every painted surface.

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 1910). 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.
