What 311 hears from this address
6 service requests in the last three years. Most common: GENERAL (2) · Animal (2) · HEAT/HOT WATER (1) · Illegal Parking (1).
Filed construction activity
$11,583 in permitted construction work filed since
2016 (3 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).
