A modest record — below the level that usually signals systemic problems. More recorded distress than 81% of 6-24-unit residential buildings citywide. The citywide median for 6-24-unit residential buildings is 16.3 penalty points per 10 units; this building carries 88.3. In ZIP 10036, 62% of residential buildings hold an A and 6% grade D or F.
