What 311 hears from this address

Filed construction activity

No permitted work with a declared cost filed in the last decade. Permit costs cover filed construction work only — they do not capture routine maintenance or repairs done without a permit.

Rent-stabilization signals

NoBuilt before 1974 (2007)
NoSix or more residential units (2)
No421-a / J-51 tax benefit on the current tax roll
