What 311 hears from this address

10 service requests in the last three years. Most common: Building/Use (2) · Real Time Enforcement (2) · Curb Condition (1) · Construction Lead Dust (1) · UNSANITARY CONDITION (1) · SAFETY (1).

Filed construction activity

$56,200 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (2 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 (1881)
YesSix or more residential units (10)
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).
