A building sweep can start a non-primary residence inquiry
This page is a public-list match. It does not name who lives here, and it is not a fraud finding. For owners and property managers, a scoped building sweep can compile occupancy indicators for units you designate—who appears to reside there—and contrast that against lease files and other lawful records. That contrast is a common starting point for non-primary residence or occupancy-fraud work with counsel. It is not an FCRA tenant screening order.
- Public list: this building is in the rent-stabilized category where occupancy questions are asked.
- Building sweep: research who appears to occupy designated units and contrast that with lease and record claims.
- Counsel review: use the packaged facts to decide whether a non-primary residence or occupancy proceeding is warranted.

Sweep work is scoped in writing. We do not publish occupant lists on this lookup page, and nothing here is a finding about any resident.
What the public list says
This address appears on public NYC RGB / HCR building lists as containing at least one rent-stabilized unit. That is a building-level signal—not apartment status and not a fraud finding.
How to read the listing flags
- Listed as containing at least one rent-stabilized unit (building level)
- Tax-benefit stabilization flag present (421-a / J-51 style listing)
- Multiple dwelling classification present on the public list
What a match means
A match means the building was registered in a way that put it on the RGB building list for that year. It is a strong orientation signal for owners, managers, and counsel—not proof that every apartment is rent stabilized, and not evidence about a specific tenant.
What it does not decide
It does not determine apartment-level status, primary residence, illegal subletting, or “tenant fraud.” Those questions need HCR processes and, when appropriate, a scoped investigative engagement with counsel.

Why occupancy questions concentrate in buildings like this one
Manhattan carries the widest gap between regulated and market rent in the city, so a stabilized unit here can be worth thousands a month to hold onto. That spread is why non-primary residence claims—pieds-à-terre, units kept after a move out of state, long-term sublets at a markup—surface more often in Manhattan stabilized stock than anywhere else. A list match does not mean this building has such a case; it means the building sits in the category where those questions get asked.
If you have a specific unit in mind, that is a scoped fact-finding engagement with counsel—not a list lookup. Nothing on this page is a finding about any resident.
Ask about a building sweep or occupancy question
Owners, property managers, and counsel: tell us the units and the question (non-primary residence, occupancy, sublet). We reply with whether a scoped building sweep, an HCR process, or public tools above are the right next step.
