The owner registered 13 stabilized units with New York State for 2023 — of about 39 apartments.
Registration counts apply to the building, not to unit numbers. To confirm your own apartment, request your rent history from New York State Homes and Community Renewal — it is free and takes a few weeks.
How to request your rent history →Most cases are tenants taking the owner to court to force repairs. A case is not proof of wrongdoing; a harassment finding or judgment is a court ruling against the owner.

Tenant action
NYPD complaints reported within about 1,000 ft (a few blocks) in the last year, by severity. This reflects what gets reported and where police are active as much as actual safety, and busier, denser, higher-foot-traffic blocks log more. Locations are approximate — the NYPD shifts each report to the nearest corner for privacy — so read this as rough context, not a safety score.
Self-reported by the owner for the year ending each filing. Counts are building-wide and do not say which apartment was affected.
DOB violations adjudicated by OATH carry money penalties. "Lost by default" means the owner never appeared at the hearing. An unpaid balance is a stronger "ignoring the city" signal than a raw violation count.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN BUILDING IN CODE COMPLIANT MANNER. OWNER TO HIRE NYSPE TO SUBMIT REPORT TO ERT INSPECTION@BUILDINGS.NYC.GOV WITH IN 15 DAYS ADDRESSING ALL CONDITIONS W/PLANS, PHOTOS, RECOMMENDING TIME FRAME AND REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED.
No executed evictions on record for this building.
Complaints record what a tenant reported, not a finding by the city. "Closed" often means the inspector could not gain access.
Class C is immediately hazardous, Class B is hazardous, Class A is non-hazardous. A violation stays open until HPD certifies the repair, so some open items may already be fixed.

Not on the city's tax-lien sale list (2019–2025). The owner has not fallen far enough behind on property tax or water charges to be flagged for a lien sale.
How this is set: open hazardous violations measured against the building's size, then raised by strong distress signals — HPD's enforcement program, court harassment findings, recent evictions, unpaid DOB fines, open housing-court cases, and a sold tax lien. Neighborhood noise and crime are not part of it. It describes the public record, not the condition of any one apartment, and a quiet record is not proof of a good building.
1 other building share this owner's registration contacts. Shared contacts suggest common control, but they are not proof of ownership.
From ACRIS recorded documents. Amounts are often $0 or nominal for transfers between related parties, and LLCs can obscure who is really involved — treat this as public-record context, not a valuation.
311 noise complaints within about 1,000 ft (a few blocks) in the last year. Most reports here are about noise from inside buildings — neighbors, not the street. This counts how often people call 311, which tracks how densely populated and busy an area is as much as how loud it is — it is not a sound measurement.
