• 8 open housing violations, none in the most serious class.

• Heat and hot water: No complaints, 12 mo, records as of Oct 27, 2026
• Pests: Clear (No bedbug filing, 3 yr), records as of Oct 29, 2026
• Safety: Clear (No open DOB violations), records as of Oct 27, 2026
• Registration: Expired Sep 30, 1994, records as of Oct 28, 2026

Source: DOF tax bills for 2007, 2008 and 2019; years with no bill on file are left out. est.: that year's bill showed no count, so taxbills.nyc carried over the count from the year before or after, because the building still showed signs of stabilization (a SCRIE or DRIE abatement, the same 421-a or J-51 benefit, or HCR's list of stabilized buildings).
