The Department of Buildings has 1 open notice on record for this building, out of 1 notice on file; the most recent was issued May 14, 2024.
- Construction

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 4, 2026.
