Violation record

Are there open violations here?

The Department of Buildings has 3 open notices on record for this building, out of 36 notices on file; the most recent was issued Feb 16, 2024.

  • Hazardous condition (facade)

    Issued Feb 16, 2024 — CYCLE 9C UNSAFE REPORT FILED

  • Local law 62/91 - boilers

    Issued Sep 1, 1994

  • Elevator

    Issued Jun 10, 1991 — DEVICE #1P1316

A violation is a notice the Department of Buildings recorded against the building. It is not a judgment, and many concern paperwork rather than safety. Open means the agency has not recorded a resolution, which is not the same as the problem still existing. From NYC Department of Buildings, DOB Violations (3h2n-5cm9), accessed Sep 13, 2026.

What is recorded here

Multiple filings, one stable building identifier.

New York City's Building Identification Number helps connect filings that may use different application numbers or describe different scopes of work. The records below are grouped because they publish BIN 1043253. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 5 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 3 under review, 2 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
