What 311 hears from this address

16 service requests in the last three years. Most common: Noise (7) · Residential Disposal Complaint (3) · HEAT/HOT WATER (2) · Homeless Person Assistance (1) · Street Light Condition (1) · Blocked Driveway (1).

Filed construction activity

$136,320 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (5 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 (1896)
YesSix or more residential units (24)
No421-a / J-51 tax benefit on the current tax roll

2 of 3 signals present. This is the classic profile of a rent-stabilized building (pre-1974, 6+ units) — many units in such buildings remain stabilized. The definitive answer for any unit: request its rent history from NYS Homes & Community Renewal (free, at hcr.ny.gov).
