Filed construction activity

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).

Flood exposure

Inside the 2007 FEMA floodplain but outside the 2015 preliminary update — worth checking against current FEMA maps.

Hurricane evacuation zone 3 of 6 — zone 1 evacuates first.

In the city's stormwater flood map for a moderate storm at today's sea levels — modeled ponding of 4 inches or more in a heavy cloudburst (2.13 in/hr). Only 0.25% of NYC lots carry this flag; basement and ground-floor spaces are most at risk.

4 street-flooding or sewer-backup complaints at this address since 2026 (4 in the last three years).

Sources: FEMA flood maps (coastal), NYC DEP Stormwater Flood Maps (cloudburst), NYC hurricane evacuation zones, and 311 records for this address.

Getting around

Distances are straight-line, not walking routes. Transit locations from the MTA and Citi Bike, bike facilities from NYC DOT, school zones from the DOE's 2024–25 maps.
