What we checked

Open the full report

City building records didn't come back when we asked, so this check is incomplete. That is not the same as a clean record.

This apartment is priced 24% below the Manhattan median for comparable units at $4,200/month, which is a significant discount worth understanding, ask the broker directly why the rent is set lower than market and whether there are any lease conditions or trade-offs involved. The listing lacks critical building information including year built, number of units, HPD violation history, and recent complaint data for heat, noise, rodents, or bedbugs, so you should request the building's HPD registration number and look up its violation history on the NYC HPD Online portal before committing. The unit won't be available until September 2026, which is unusually far out, so confirm whether the current lease situation is straightforward and whether that date is firm. Laundry and pet policies are unlisted, and there's no square footage provided, these are worth clarifying in writing. At your viewing, check water pressure, radiator condition, and window seals since building age and maintenance history are unknown.
