Where the penalty points come from

Open with the city right now

No current HPD flags in the latest weekly snapshot: no open violations, no pending litigation, no active vacate orders, and not in the Alternative Enforcement Program.

Patterns

12 heat or hot-water complaints in the last three years (winter 2025–26: 12).

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

What 311 hears from this address

18 service requests in the last three years. Most common: Rodent (7) · HEAT/HOT WATER (6) · Derelict Vehicles (1) · UNSANITARY CONDITION (1) · PLUMBING (1) · WATER LEAK (1).

Filed construction activity

$8,533,640 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

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).
