DHCR-listed buildings with tracked listings
102 indexable building pages have a listing address matched to the DHCR building registry. A building match does not confirm the status of any apartment in it.
Showing the 5 linked buildings with the most listing history.
Based on Leaseswap listings tracked during the last 6 months. Feature shares count explicit affirmative reports over all tracked listings; a missing detail is unknown, not a negative. Apartment size is based on listings that report square footage. Updated October 1, 2026.
Midtown West covers a broad area, and housing varies by block. Manhattan Community Board 4’s Hudson Yards overview describes residential sections with walk-up apartments, tenements, converted lofts, and high-rise apartment buildings. Its study area runs from West 28th to West 43rd Streets, with changing eastern edges near Seventh and Eighth Avenues. That is only one planning area within a broader neighborhood label, so use the exact listing address rather than assuming every Midtown West block has the same housing form.
The building type changes what to check during an apartment search. In a walk-up or tenement, confirm the floor, stair access, and unit entry. In a high-rise, ask about elevator service, building staff, and which shared facilities are currently available. A loft-style listing needs an extra check: confirm the building’s current lawful residential use and whether any conversion work is complete. These are address-level questions; a neighborhood description cannot establish an individual unit’s condition, layout, or lease terms.
Public places help locate some of the relevant blocks. Manhattan Community Board 4 lists Hell’s Kitchen Park on Tenth Avenue between West 47th and West 48th Streets, and DeWitt Clinton Park between West 52nd and West 54th Streets near Eleventh Avenue. Columbus Library is at 742 Tenth Avenue. NYPL describes the branch as opening in 1909 in a Carnegie-funded building and reopening after a restoration in 2005. These sites give a useful east-to-west orientation without standing in for the full neighborhood.
The community board also documents a proposed Hell’s Kitchen historic-district study. The board’s committee commissioned architectural research and later recommended it to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. A proposal is not the same as an adopted designation. If a listing claims landmark status, check the City’s current designation records for that exact building.
For a practical comparison, look at the block, building form, and unit details separately. Confirm whether the address falls within the Community Board 4 study area, then check current property records and the listing contact for residential use, services, and access. The area contains several distinct housing types, so details from one building should not be applied to another.
