Filed construction activity

$6,440,759 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (42 filings with a declared cost) — a rough measure of how actively the owner maintains the building. Permit costs cover filed construction work only — they do not capture routine maintenance or repairs done without a permit.

Rent-stabilization signals

YesBuilt before 1974 (1930)
YesSix or more residential units (120)
No421-a / J-51 tax benefit on the current tax roll
