Prewar elevator buildings and rowhouses on one block

Rent stabilization generally covers apartments in buildings with 6 or more units built before 1974, which describes many of the prewar elevator buildings around Eastern Parkway. If any apartment in your building is rent stabilized, post the rent stabilized units notice in English and Spanish in a common area.

The neighborhood is split between Community District 8, north of Eastern Parkway, and Community District 9 to the south. The sign rules are the same on both sides. An elevator building simply needs a bigger order, with floor number signs on every floor and a fire safety notice on every apartment door.
