$1,010,450 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (14 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 (1897)
YesSix or more residential units (19)
No421-a / J-51 tax benefit on the current tax roll
