What 311 hears from this address

78 service requests in the last three years. Most common: HEAT/HOT WATER (27) · Water System (17) · Illegal Parking (6) · Derelict Vehicles (6) · Abandoned Vehicle (3) · PLUMBING (3).

Filed construction activity

$1,663,330 in permitted construction work filed since 2016 (22 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

2 of 3 signals present. Buildings receiving 421-a or J-51 benefits are generally required to register their units as rent-stabilized for the duration of the benefit. The definitive answer for any unit: request its rent history from NYS Homes & Community Renewal (free, at hcr.ny.gov).
