Patterns

6 heat or hot-water complaints in the last three years (winter 2024–25: 6).

No bedbug-infested units reported in the last three years of filings.

What 311 hears from this address

17 service requests in the last three years. Most common: Noise (4) · HEAT/HOT WATER (3) · Illegal Parking (2) · ELECTRIC (2) · WATER LEAK (2) · GENERAL (1).

Filed construction activity

$965,843 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (15 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 (1878)
YesSix or more residential units (6)
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).
