What 311 hears from this address
15 service requests in the last three years. Most common: Graffiti (8) · Illegal Parking (4) · ELECTRIC (2) · Consumer Complaint (1).
Filed construction activity
$46,100 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
No
Built before 1974 (2006)
No
Six or more residential units (4)
No
421-a / J-51 tax benefit on the current tax roll
0 of 3 signals present. None of the common signals are present — stabilization is unlikely (though never impossible). The definitive answer for any unit:
request its rent history from NYS Homes & Community Renewal (free, at hcr.ny.gov).
